Wow Over 30,000 became Catholic at Easter in the United States – FULL Text Release from USCCB
About 85 of the nearly 200 dioceses across the nation have reported their numbers of catechumens and candidates for full communion to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). Based on these numbers, more than 30,000 people are expected to be welcomed into the Church at Easter Vigil Masses this Saturday. For example, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the largest diocese in the United States, will welcome 1,700 catechumens and 1,127 candidates. Among them will be catechumen Tina Robinson. Raised in a Baptist church, Tina eventually started attending a non-denominational church. After she married a cradle Catholic, she prayed to God for guidance. A few days later, Tina received an invitation to attend St. Bernard’s Parish on their front door. “That was my calling” says Tina.

At Easter, we celebrate the truth of who Jesus is
Today we stand at his empty tomb — and we feel the same amazement of those first disciples.
