RCIA Easter Vigil Reception

Please join the participants in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) for the celebration of the greatest feast of our Church year, Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday, April 4, 2026 at 8:00 p.m.

For the Elect and the Candidates, this will be the culmination of more than a year of learning through the RCIA about the word of God, the teachings of the Church, the community, prayer and apostolic works of service for others. The Elect are now ready to receive the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist), and the Candidates are now ready to be received into full Communion with the Catholic Church.

For the Saint Anne Catholic Church, it has been a wonderful opportunity to journey with them, opening ourselves to experiencing Lent at its fullest, growing in our faith, and deepening our conversion. We look forward with anticipation to the beautiful Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday during which we join the Elect and the Candidates in renewing our commitment in faith to the service of the Risen Lord. The service is a moving experience that we all will long remember and cherish.

There will be a reception in honor of our new Catholics immediately following the Easter Vigil Mass in the Hospitality Room on the lower level of the Church.

Please bring a dish to share! You may drop it off in the Hospitality Room kitchen before the Vigil.

We are also in need of parishioners to help serve on the evening of the event.
