Easter vigil is tonight

Amigos,  

The Great Easter Vigil is tonight at 8:00 pm at Annunciation Catholic Church. I am asking all of you from the youth group to do everything possible to be there. It is the high point of the Church's liturgy and marks the rising of Jesus from the tomb on the third day. It will begin outside the church with a bonfire, the lighting of the Easter candle, a procession, and continue inside with baptisms, first communions, etc. Fr. Francisco has asked the youth to help unveil the statues at a key moment during the liturgy. 

The Easter Vigil liturgy is the most beautiful liturgy in the Roman Catholic Church. This walks through the Easter Vigil, and includes the words to the Exsultet.

Although celebrated Holy Saturday evening, it is the dramatic Easter vigil liturgy that marks the beginning of Easter. We are awaiting our master's return with our lamps full and burning, so that he will find us awake and seat us at his table (cf. Luke 12:35ff). All Catholics should try to attend this beautiful service. The vigil is divided into four parts: 1) service of light, 2) liturgy of the Word, 3) liturgy of Baptism, and 4) liturgy of the Eucharist.
