As is the case every year, the Easter Vigil was the highlight of St. Vincent's celebration of the Triduum. The Exultet, the triple Alleluia, the renewal of baptismal promises---all of these once-a-year observances helped us to hail the resurrection of our Blessed Lord with renewed strength and devotion. Particular joy filled this year's Vigil as we baptized four catechumens and received four candidates into full communion with the Catholic Church. To them and to all who entered the Church this Easter weekend, we wish you a heartfelt welcome and we pledge to you our grateful prayers.
