Fr. Joseph Lukong will celebrate the Easter Vigil Mass on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at 8:00 pm at Immaculate Conception Church in Calais. The Vigil begins with the blessing of the holy fire. The congregation processes into the church in darkness, signifying the darkness of the world in the absence of Christ. During the Mass, the paschal candle is blessed and lit, a symbol of the light of Christ. That light then spreads throughout the church. During Easter Vigil Masses around the world, thousands are baptized and received into full communion with the Catholic Church.
