New special introduces those who were baptized on the Easter Vigil
NET TV is announcing a half-hour special premiering this Friday, April 17, 2026, at 7 p.m. The special, Coming To Catholicism, profiles some of the nearly 1,300 individuals who became fully initiated into the faith this year at Easter vigils across the Diocese of Brooklyn which includes Queens.
Meet some of the Diocese’s newest Catholics, who were counting down the days to the Easter Vigil, when they were officially welcomed into the Catholic Church. Be inspired by the paths they took to discover their faith, including:
- Greg Montgomery: The combat veteran who’s been attending Mass for years with his wife but says it wasn’t until they adopted their son that he had a “come to faith moment.”
- Sander Cheung: The artificial intelligence expert who says he realized he was missing the one thing AI can’t replace.
- Damari Machado: A Queens woman who found faith through a deep devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe. It’s a countdown to Catholicism you won’t want to miss!
The half-hour Coming to Catholicism special will air on Currents News, NET TV’s daily newscast. NET-TV is a cable network featuring news and information from a Catholic perspective and is available in the New York area on Spectrum, channel 97; Optimum, channel 30; and Verizon FIOS, channel 548.
