Scott_TX Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 I am also being confirmed during Easter Vigil, I am looking forward to it after 19 years of attending Mass.
Lilllabettt Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) The framed certificate hanging on my wall indicates that April 10, 2006 will be the second anniversary since I was "joyfully received into full Communion with the Roman Catholic Church," by far the happiest day of my whole entire life (so far.) Confirmations are cool!! And baptisms are AWESOME!!! And it all takes place during the Vigil of all Vigils!! Who loves the Easter Vigil? ME ME ME ME!!!! Edited March 31, 2006 by Lilllabettt
MC IMaGiNaZUN Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 I didn't get confirmed on easter vigil, i got confirmed on another day seperate for all the teenagers who were getting confirmed. I was the oldest one there, but yeah. It was so we could have the bishop confirm us. Some larger parishes do that. The day of My confirmation and chrismation was on May 6 2001. St. Augustine was recieved into the Church on Easter Vigil on April 23 (but i cannot recall what year) SHALOM
AlterDominicus Posted April 1, 2006 Author Posted April 1, 2006 14 days and counting. I have a boat load of stuff to do, I already sent out my "invitations" , but I have like 5-8 religious to call, particularly Sister Mary Emily from Nashville Dominicans. This year our Easter Vigil is different, last year it was just, grab a candle walk into a dark church etc... This year (we have a new music director) we start with an outdoor processional, to music, to firelight, and candlelight etc... so I am REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AlterDominicus Posted April 3, 2006 Author Posted April 3, 2006 Is it just me or is it 12 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
magnificat Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 How exciting!!!!! I love the Vigil! At my parish at home, we started with a simple procession from the Sacristy outside (where everyone was) to bless and light the fire. And then we'd process back into the the dark church carrying candles. Absolutely beautiful because our church holds 1,000 people. One year I was carrying the processional cross (which is long and metallic) and managed to walk the bottom of it right into the lowest marble step in the Sanctuary on the way outside. Nothing like a nice loud clang to wake people up! Good thing it was dark because I was probably beet red!

We had mass at 7, it went directly from prayer to mass, and during Holy Communion the priest dropped the host when he was giving it to one of the older guests. I had to try and hold back a laugh as it was very echoy, since there wasnt many of us, just 6 of us and the Sisters Three until we prepared for the come and see'ers
magnificat Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Too funny!!! Hmm..weird, I don't get their newsletters, yet I run into the Sisters every few weeks and email rants to their vd ! Something wrong with this picture?!?
AlterDominicus Posted April 5, 2006 Author Posted April 5, 2006 (edited) Where do you live? I called them in LaCrosse lastnight to thank them for everything and to see if Sister Philomena accepted my offer, which she did, I'm still happy about it. 10 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited April 5, 2006 by AlterDominicus
magnificat Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 In St. Louis....so I know the FSGM who are in St. Louis & Alton mainly...although I did meet a couple of the sisters who are in WI. They brought some of their girls down for the fall "Come & See" weekend. The only one I remember is Sr. Mary David, a novice, because she's related to someone from home! Woohoo! Wait, what offer?
