Easter Vigil at St. Antony Church, Allipade 

On April 4th, 2026, St. Antony Church, Allipade, celebrated the Easter Vigil, marking the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Easter Vigil service was filled with hope as we reflected on God’s light, grace, and new life. 

We began with the blessing of the new fire, symbolizing Christ’s light in the world. 

Through readings from Scripture, we remembered God’s saving work, leading us from darkness into light. The blessing of the water reminded us of our baptism and new beginnings in Christ. 

The Eucharist was led by our Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Robert D’Souza, along with Rev. Fr. Anush D’Cunha SJ and Rev. Fr. Leston Lobo SJ. Together, we celebrated Christ’s victory over death and looked forward to a life renewed in His love.
