Easter Vigil

Webmaster • March 27, 2026

We gather at 8.30pm on Saturday night for the Easter Vigil at St. Teilo’s. According to a most ancient tradition, this night is "one of vigil for the Lord," and the Vigil celebrated during it. Commemorating that Holy Night when the Lord rose from the dead, is regarded as the "mother of all Masses." For on this night, the Church keeps vigil, waiting for the Resurrection of the Lord, and celebrates the Sacraments of Christian Initiation. This year we welcome three people into the Church at the Easter Vigil – Shaad, Jane and Ryan. We also celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation and First Communion for two adults, Keiron and Emanuel, who, though baptised as Catholics are now admitted to these Sacraments as they commit themselves to active engagement in the Church Please make every effort to attend the Vigil, the highpoint of the Christian Year and the central mystery of our faith.
