Easter Vigil 2024
The Easter Vigil was celebrated on Saturday, March 30, 2024. During the Easter Vigil the Church keeps watch and celebrates Christ's Resurrection, his passing from death to life. The Mass begins outside with the blessing of the Easter fire and the lighting of the Easter candle. At this Mass the sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation are celebrated for those entering the Church. This year we had 10 individuals receive one or more of the Sacraments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil.

After a special 11:30 a.m. Mass at the historic South Church, more than 150 persons processed on a one-mile prayerful journey from the church to Cedar Creek Park. After prayers, the procession returned to the South Church. The Eucharistic Procession was led by Fr. Patrick Burns, Fr. John Burns and Fr. Timothy Schumaker. Eucharistic processions date back to the thirteenth century. For more information on Corpus Christi, visit this page at Catholic World Report.

Adios and “Chao Chao” to Fr. Yamid Blanco

June 15, 2014

After the June 14-15 Masses, parishioners said farewell to Fr. Yamid Blanco, who was our associate pastor for the last two years. Fr. Yamid will be missed and will be remembered as a very caring priest who always gave hugs when greeting people after Mass. He will also be remembered for carrying every baby he baptized all through the church, and always smiling. Fr. Yamid’s new assignment is at St. Charles Borromeo Parish in Burlington, WI, ministering to three parishes with large Anglo and Hispanic communities. Click to view gallery.
