April 20, 5:00 am
Easter Vigil is the high point of the Christian Year. The 5am liturgy begins in the dark with the lighting of the new fire, the procession of the new Paschal Candle and the chanting of the Exsultet, the hymn of victory of life over death. Upon hearing the first Alleluia of Easter, we ring bells, bring the lights up and sing the Gloria in excelsis in response. All are invited to bring bells to ring at either liturgy. The Vigil is followed by a breakfast in the parish hall.
