My 32 year old son will be one of the new Catholics this Easter service..... I’m very happy for him as he did it as part of getting married in the near future.

I’m honored to be a sponsor for the third year running. It’s such a blessing.

I took first communion as an adult at Easter 30 years ago.

When my daughter (age 12) was baptized, had her first communion, and was confirmed, there were about 150 in our parish who went through the same. Mass lasted almost five hours, there little kids and some adults asleep on the pews and the floor by the time it ended. It was great. :0)

Our parish had 37 catechumens. These were NOT first communion children, but rather brand new adult Catholics.

The Vigil Mass was 3½ hours long and quite beautiful.

Nice happytalk from the USCCB! No mention of the hundreds of thousands who have left the Church.

Our parish had the biggest number in years this year. The vigil mass went on for 3 hours. My wife was one of them. Emotional for both of us.
