Washington DC, Mar 16, 2008 / 04:04 pm (CNA).- Tens of thousands of people around the United States will be received into the Catholic Church in less than a week at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday, March 22. The Easter Vigil is the most important ceremony of the church year. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead and is also the time when catechumens, those who come from a non-Christian background, are baptized, confirmed, and receive Holy Communion. Prior to becoming members of the Catholic Church, potential converts will usually have undergone the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA), a roughly six month course on Catholicism. While most are adults, some children will be received into the Church along with their families. Full story CNA Welcome, and a very Happy Easter to all those to be received this weekend KatyA |
