A good night to come home
More than 200 around diocese will fully enter the Church at the Vigil
By Patricia Kasten

The Easter Vigil is the most solemn, and joy-filled, celebration of the church year. It is the night the Lord rose from the dead and brought salvation to all who believe in him.
Since ancient times, the Vigil has been the night when new members are brought into the Body of Christ through the Sacraments of Initiation: baptism, confirmation and Eucharist.
This Easter Vigil, April 10, parishes across the diocese will welcome their newest members, who have prepared through the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) during Lent. More than 200 people will receive the sacraments at the Vigil. They are called the Elect.
The Elect may be either catechumens - who have not been baptized - or candidates - who have been baptized into the Christian faith, but have not completed their initiation into the Catholic Church.
During the Easter season, these newly initiated will undergo the mystagogia, a period of post baptismal learning that is marked by their new experience of the sacraments and of full participation in the community. The role of all members of the church is to walk with them in the new light of Easter, sharing the journey of faith and the peace that Christ gives.
Below are the names of the Elect that have been submitted to the Worship department.
