Every year on this holy night I reflect on the grace of itinerancy that the Holy Spirit has given me; only twice in my whole baptism have I been in the same place for the Easter Vigil for more than two years in a row. When I think about all the places I've been for the Vigil, it puts me in awe of God and in a state of gratitude for my journey.
Here's my Easter Vigil history:
- 2024: Sacred Heart, Yonkers, NY (concelebrant; first time in charge of RCIA)
- 2023: Annunciation, Crestwood, Yonkers, NY (concelebrant)
- 2022: Our Lady of Sorrows, White Plains, NY
- 2021: Our Lady of Sorrows, White Plains, NY
- 2020: (COVID-19 pandemic, prayed what is provided in the Liturgy of the Hours for qui sollemni Vigilæ paschali non interfuerunt)
- 2019: Basilica of St. Teresa of Ávila, Rome
- 2018: Basilica of St. Camillo de Lellis, Rome
- 2017: Basilica of St. Camillo de Lellis, Rome (in the 25th year of my baptism)
