On Saturday, April 16 at the 7:00pm Easter Vigil Mass, we received 14 candidates and catechumens into the Catholic Church — praise God! Please pray for them by name (click to see their names!).

Nelly Crabbe was fully initiated into the Catholic faith at the Easter Vigil, on April 4, 2021. Click to read her testimony.

The Catholic Church welcomed my inquisitive mind and was able to provide me with logical and factually supported answers. It only makes sense considering other churches can be traced back to a man, and the Catholic Church can be traced back to Jesus himself. I am thankful to now be part of such a wonderful Church and look forward to continuing my education in Catholicism.

"...my teenage daughter became seriously ill and was hospitalized. I got myself ready and went to Children's National to visit her. I walked down the hallway and as I approached her room, I saw her lying in bed with what looked like a Catholic priest next to her, ministering. It was the same picture I'd had in mind earlier in the day, only in real life..."

Please pray for these candidates by name!
