Close. Probably 11 PM or midnight.

The Easter Vigil Mass, which is celebrated on the Saturday evening immediately preceding Easter Sunday, starts after dark and is the longest and most beautiful of the year.

With love in Christ.

Since the Vigil is on Saturday, the church should close up after the Vigil Mass. There is no need to keep it open unless the parish has perpetual adotration.
