Easter Vigil

Thursday, March 13

Responding to our baptismal call

Each year I am often met with surprise when I tell people that Easter is actually a busier time for the Catholic Church than Christmas.

Easter Vigil

The Easter Vigil Mass was a special time for 30 new members of the Adelaide Archdiocese who received the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Communion in their parishes. Nine catechumens from the Adelaide Cathedral parish were baptised by Archbishop Patrick O’Regan in St Francis Xavier’s Cathedral. Another two candidates were received at the Mass after participating in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) program.

Catechumens continue their journey

As part of their preparation for baptism, 26 catechumens from 12 parishes were presented at the Rite of Election in St Patrick’s Church, Grote St, on February 18.
