Once one attends an Easter Vigil, they never miss it again.
Four rites:
The Rite of Light
The Rite of the Liturgy — lots of readings
The Rite of Baptism (and Confirmation and Eucharist)
The Rite of the Eucharist
It really is beautiful — and then we have a huge reception afterward. We have 25 baptisms this year and 20 people come into Full Communion with the Catholic Church. That’s a lot!
As I said above, welcome home, and let us know if there are any questions we might answer.
Thank you very much. Althoug B-Chan might be a bit off put by this, we do have a “Holy Hot Tub” at our parish - the baptisms are full immersions, and I am so looking forward to it. A lot of work to do over the next year, though. In fact, I have class tonight!
