Tile around the Candles

This week the area around

 the vigil candles was tiled.

It looks nicer (and is safer) now.

Adding Some Tile

In the back of the church we have statues of Mary with the infant Jesus as well as the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Below them are areas for candles.

Over the years, the carpet beside the candle altar has sufferred a number of small burns. At the suggestion of some parishioners, we're making a small modification to the plans and putting tile around these candle altars.

So our architect and builder have been thinking though ideas to figure out the best way to do this.

Easter Vigil: Part I

The Easter Vigil can not begin until after twilight.

The service begins outside lighting a fire.

The new Easter candle is lit.

Other candles are lit from the Easter Candle ...

... until the church is filled with light.
