Easter Vigil with Baptism and Confirmation

Occurring
for 1 hour, 15 mins
Venue
Ely Cathedral
Address
Ely, CB7 4DH, United Kingdom

Preacher: The Revd Dr Stephen Hampton

Out of the darkness and sorrow of human violence emerges the light and life of God’s presence: in the risen Jesus; in God’s enduring promise to be with his people; in the transforming sacrament of baptism.

This is the first celebration of Easter, with the lighting of the New Fire and the Paschal Candle and the bringing of that resurrection light into a darkened church, the admission of new Christians to baptism and communion, and the rising of light, joy, colour and life for the first time since the events of Good Friday.

Safeguarding

We are committed to safeguarding everyone who worships at Ely Cathedral or comes to the activities we offer.

We fully acknowledge we have a duty of care to all children and vulnerable adults who are part of our community or visit the Cathedral. In addition to implementing robust policies and guidelines, we carefully select and train paid and voluntary staff who might come into contact with these groups, using the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) if appropriate amongst other tools, to check their suitability.

We follow the advice, guidance, policy and practice of the Church of England in Promoting a Safer Church.
