A full Sunday - Masses live & livestreamed,

Virtual Hospitality & an afternoon organ recital

April Earth Day celebrations, in-person & virtual

Sunday's Gospel reading begins with two disciples recounting the events on the road to Emmaus - Msgr. Jameson's favorite Gospel story - and "how Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of bread." At the Easter Vigil, our sixteen were initiated into this sacrament of Jesus' self-revelation in their First Eucharist with Cardinal Gregory, following their Confirmations. As voiced in last Sunday's intercessions, we pray for "all the newly baptized and those received into the light of Christ as they continue their period of mystagogia into the mystery of faith, hope and charity." Enjoy more Easter Vigil photos with some accompanying narration.
