Today, we gather to celebrate the resurrection of
Jesus Christ. In reality every Sunday in the Christian Church is a like a little Easter Sunday because
we remember Christ’s resurrection each week.
Each week you share your time, your talents, and
your financial gifts at liturgy, and in the world.
Thank you for your generosity! This enables Visitation Parish to preach the Easter message throughout the year.

The most wonderful thing that Easter time
brings is knowing that our Lord was crucified for all. The giving of His life, the most
holy sacrifice and He did it just for us, out
of His undying love, then on the third day
He rose from the grave and lives forever
more as our Saviour and Lord.

Easter Sunday of the
Resurrection of the Lord. He
saw and he believed. They have done the
running for us. These witnesses who followed Christ, rose before dawn, felt fear at
the tomb, ran to get others, ran back, and
probably breathless, peered in and then
walked into the tomb. It is not what they
saw, but what they did not see that gave them great hope;
that makes this day glorious for us.
Jour de Pâques. Dimanche de la Résurrection du Seigneur. Pierre enlevée, Christ vivant!
Le Christ est ressuscité. Un signe en est donné à Marie Madeleine: la lourde pierre qui fermait le tombeau a été enlevée.
L’apôtre Pierre en témoigne en Galilée chez le centurion
Corneille. Paul rappelle ce qui en découle.
