(Please see Father Christopher to arrange your confession prior to Holy Saturday)

*It is customary to bring a Paschal Basket to the liturgy. Father will bless it after the service and then we will have a shared feast of items from the baskets any other dishes or treats that you care to bring. Baskets usually include a candle (to be lit when the baskets are blessed) and foods that you have been fasting from (Meats, cheeses, chocolates, wine, Easter eggs, and Paschal bread…all your favourite things to eat!).
