It is traditional to accept new catechumens (those being prepared to come into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church) during the Easter Vigil. This Easter will mark the third anniversary of the moment our family came into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church.

As far as anniversaries go, third anniversaries are always important ones. The number three contains its own poetry. As everyone knows groups of three work well in rhetoric and even when laying out a garden. Plants or trees in groups of three will always look better than in twos or fours.
