The Easter Vigil and Liturgy is the most remarkable service of the year. We mark Easter from the kindling of the new fire, the lighting of the Paschal Candle, a time of vigil and prayer, the Easter acclamation and the renewal of our baptismal vows.
This ancient and beautiful liturgy guides us from the darkness of death into the light of new life.
The service begins after sunset and normally lasts about two hours.
