13. In addition to our regular Holy Week Services of an Agape' dinner and mass on Mandy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Masses, we held our second Easter Vigil Service on Saturday Evening. The Vigil reflects on God's Covenants with us through the ages through Bible readings interspersed with song. I recommend that everyone give this a try - it is powerful and assuring!
