EASTER SUNDAY IN THE PARISH
Easter Sunday fills us with joy, hope, and renewal, reminding us of God’s love and the victory of life over death. As we celebrate Christ’s resurrection, we are called to live with faith, gratitude, and a renewed spirit of love and compassion.
Easter Sunday is the most joyful and significant day in the Christian calendar, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It marks the triumph of life over death, hope over despair, and love over sin. After the sorrow of Good Friday, Easter brings renewal, reminding us of God’s promise of eternal life and our churches are to be filled with joyful worship, music, and celebration as we proclaim, "Christ is risen!" This day invites us to embrace the hope and transformation that Christ’s victory brings, renewing our faith and calling us to share His love with the world.
