 The Easter Vigil at the Cathedral Church of

St. Andrew

April 19, 2025 at 6pm

 

The Easter Vigil is the first, festive celebration of Easter in our Church. At this service, we literally light the "first fire" of this new season, and then process into the church for joyful hymns and Eucharist. 

Holy Nativity Church has not held our own Easter Vigil service in some years. This year, on Saturday, April 19 at 6pm, we encourage Holy Nativity parishioners and friends to worship on that special evening at our Cathedral Church of St. Andrew, to learn about and enjoy the Vigil together. 

 

At this year's Easter Vigil, there will be adult baptisms, which have been traditional since the time of the early church. 

In addition, Bishop Bob will offer Confirmations and Receptions for those who have been baptized but wish to make a further affirmation of their

Christian faith.


If you have questions about and/or are interested in adult baptism, confirmation, or reception, please be in touch with Rev. Jenn or Rev. Libby. 

We would be happy to talk with you!

Once again Holy Nativity will participate in the annual "Lent Madness" event

We encourage you to join us in this online activity, not unlike a sports tournament, and follow its progress on our own giant bracket poster by the church bulletin board.

 

The event will begin right after Ash Wednesday when 32 saints are proposed to vie for the

Golden Halo. Through your email you will initially be provided with fascinating biographical information so you may vote every day during Lent. This process continues as you select one saint from a pair in single elimination brackets over five rounds.

To participate in Lent Madness 2025, you need to register at https://www.lentmadness.org
