CWN Editor's Note: Many dioceses and archdioceses in the United States, Canada, the UK, France, and Australia are reporting that record numbers of adults will enter the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil this year.
The Archdiocese of Vancouver will welcome 720 new Catholics—doubling the figure from last year, which was already a new high. In Detroit, 977 people will enter the Church; in Washington, DC, more than 1,500.
