Easter Vigil11 th April 2020

We now arrive at this most holy and sacred celebration. The pinnacle of our liturgical year. As with any celebration, planning is essential to ensure you have an inclusive liturgy that involves all aspects of your parish. Take time and consider the various rites that make up this wonderful liturgy, particularly if you have parishioners about to be received into the church at the vigil. Try not to leave decisions on how this liturgy is to be celebrated, too late.

Consider rehearsing some of the rites, say, at an altar server’s practice. However difficult it may seem to get the various ministries together – Clergy, Musicians, Readers, Servers – it is worth the effort of pulling all the resources together and running through the liturgy prior to the vigil.
