For Richard Ezell of Amity, Easter Vigil will mark the culmination of one journey and the beginning of another. “It’s like starting anew,” he says. “It’s like I am a new creature.” Ezell is among 59 people around the state who will be baptized, confirmed, and receive first Eucharist during the Easter Vigil Mass. Another 45 candidates, those previously baptized in other Christian faiths, will be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church through the sacraments of confirmation and Eucharist.
