Father Michael Meany baptizes Jack Spinks during the Easter Vigil at St. Damian Parish in Oak Forest on April 3. The Easter Vigil Mass begins with the blessing of the fire and lighting of the paschal candle, continues with the liturgy of the Word, then with the baptism and confirmation of catechumens and candidates and culminates in the liturgy of the Eucharist.
