The Easter Vigil and First Eucharist of Easter 2024

Occuring
for 4 hours
Venue
St Philip's, Earl's Court Road
Address
Earl's Court Road Kensington, W8 6QH, United Kingdom

We join together with the church down the ages, passing from darkness to light, as we mark the journey from the emptiness of Holy Saturday, to the celebration of Christ’s Resurrection. We begin with the lighting of the new Paschal candle and the singing of the Exultet, before keeping the ancient vigil. We will then welcome new members in Baptism followed by the first Mass of Easter.
