Easter 2024
The Easter Season begins on Easter Sunday on March 31, 2024 and lasts for 7 weeks concluding on the Feast of Pentecost on May 19, 2024. This time of joyous celebration invites us to reflect on the new life we have been given through the Resurrection of Christ. It is Baptismal in nature and each Sunday we renew our Baptismal promises as a sign of our willingness to be faithful disciplines of Christ.
