We Welcome Our New Church Members
Easter Vigil 2008

On the Saturday evening before Easter, we welcome our new Catholics with the Easter sacraments.
The evening starts with the lighting of the new fire, followed by the singing of the Exsultet prayer.

Blessing of the holy water used for Baptism.

Saturday evening at the Solemn Easter Vigil, we welcome our new Catholics to the parish.

It is a great joy to realize the blessings God has bestowed on our community by these new Catholics (now called neophytes) and to have witnessed the faith, hope and love that was so evident in our community during our celebration of the Easter Vigil.
