The Easter Vigil in the Holy Night (Apr 8, 2023)


“We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of God the Father, we too might live in newness of life.”

The Sacred Paschal Triduum concludes with the Easter Vigil in which our RCIA Elect are received into the Church through the Sacraments of Initiation.
