Join us for our Easter Sunday celebration as we proclaim the Good News of Jesus’ resurrection. Though He was betrayed, crucified, and buried, the tomb could not hold Him. On the third day, it was found empty—just as He said. Christ is risen! Alleluia!
Reflect with us on the message of Luke 24:6-9 and the significance of the empty tomb. This is the hope of the Church and the joy of the world: Jesus lives.
