Baptisms this Easter

This year we will be celebrating both an Easter Vigil service on Saturday April 7 at 8:15 pm and our usual Easter Day Eucharist at 11:00 am on April 8.


Since we don’t celebrate baptisms usually during the season of Lent, these services are the services at which baptisms at this time of the year are normally celebrated. In fact, the baptismal rite is essentially one of the highlights at these services. Since there will be two services, we now have double the opportunities for baptisms this year.

If you know of anyone who would like to be baptized at either of these services, please contact Fr. Jamie.
