The Solemn Vigil of Easter will be celebrated on Holy Saturday, 4 April, at 8:30pm.

In this most holy night, the Church keeps watch for the Resurrection of the Lord. From darkness to light, from death to life, the Paschal mystery is proclaimed as Christ passes over from the grave to glory. Renewed by baptismal grace and nourished by the Eucharist, the faithful rejoice in the victory of the risen Lord and the promise of everlasting life.

All the faithful are warmly invited to assist at this Solemn Easter Vigil, said according to Divine Worship: The Missal (Ordinariate Use).

O GOD, who dost illuminate this most holy night with the glory of the Resurrection of the Lord: stir up, we pray thee, in thy Church, the spirit of adoption which thou hast given; that we, being regenerate both in body and soul, may render unto thee a pure service; through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
