Easter, a Season of Converts

Credit :

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops reported that "thousands" of new converts to the faith are being welcomed this Easter.

"A married couple in their golden years, a couple inspired by their late daughter's legacy, and a salesman who heard Jesus' call to conversion on a stranger's porch, are among the thousands who will be welcomed into the Catholic Church on Easter Vigil, April 15, in parishes across the United States," the USCCB Public Affairs office said in a message Monday.

"Catechumens, who have never been baptized, will receive baptism, confirmation and first Communion at the Holy Saturday Easter Vigil."
