Families celebrate Easter in many different ways. For some it is the thrill of an Easter hunt, for others, it is sharing hot cross buns or a meal with family. As Catholics, we celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus by joining together in prayer during Holy Week. Family is central to all of the traditions of Easter, and over the Easter break I encourage all in our community to:
- make time for family, enjoy activities together and show each other how much they are appreciated,
- reconnect with God’s creation by being part of our natural environment, stop and appreciate the beauty if you are travelling, we live in such a privileged place and
- build your relationship with Jesus by being part of Easter services in your parish
I wish all families a safe and happy Easter.
