2026 Easter Appeal
Thanks be to God—we are an Easter people!
This means that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ—the truth that He lives today—guides every aspect of our lives. For us, Easter is not simply a day of remembrance; it is a way of life. We have a mission, given by Jesus to the apostles and handed down to us in our own time, to invite others into that same way of life.
