Hi MummaB, both your boys school and the parish assosiated with them will have a section of books or publications you could have a look for. trust me both would be MORE than happy to share with you. It isn't often parents go out of their way to educate themselves about Catholicism just because their kids attend a Catholic school - good on you.

As for the easter vigil, most Catholic parishes run what is called the RCIA program. Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. I have sponsered two people through this program and it is excelent, basically teaches you the basis of the Christian faith and examines the reading from Sunday's mass each week and culminates in the Rites of initiation (Baptisim, conformation, communion) at the vigil (Saturday before Easter Sunday)

Enjoy your journey
