Easter Masses, April 19-20, 2014
At the Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday, with the new fire blessed and the Easter candle lit, the parish joined our clergy in passing from darkness to the light of Christ as we welcomed Easter. Bishop Sanchez and the parish also welcomed our candidates to be baptized and those completing their Sacraments of Initiation. Photos by Rosalind Chan.
The preparations of the men and women who were received into the Catholic Church on Easter are chronicled in Anthony Oeswadi’s RCIA Easter Triduum photo and video album.
