The Pentecost Vigil is similar to the Easter Vigil, and was once a tradition of the Church, a time when those who had not received their sacraments at the Easter Vigil would now enter the church.

At our Tri-County Catholics Pentecost Vigil, adults will be confirmed. Join us for this unique celebration of the conclusion of the Easter season.
