EASTER CELEBRATIONS 2024, KWALAKWALA PARISH, AUKI DIOCESE
Happy Easter greetings to you all!
Again, we reached the great event of Easter. In my Parish, our parishioners come together in the Mission station and camped for the Easter celebrations.
Our celebrations started on Palm Sunday (March 24th) and ended on Easter Sunday (March 31st). In the week of prayer and celebration, prayers that had taken place were:
- Holy Thursday – Mass of the lords supper and adoration of the Blessed sacrament.
- Good Friday – Station of cross and veneration of the cross.
- Holy Saturday – The vigil Mass of the ressurrection.
- Easter Sunday – The mass of the ressurrection of Jesus Christ.
This year’s celebrations wee successful since many people from other denominations like the Anglicans, the SSEC and the SDA churches come to join us in this Easter celebration. Also our Parish Youths have dramatised again the passion of Christ which touches the lives of the people here when they reflect and imagine the love of God for humanity.
Also, one of the biggest blessings we experienced, too, is 15 people have been baptised as New members of the church during the Holy Saturday vigil prayers.
For all, uniting with the universal church to celebrate the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ this Easter, we have peaceful and life strengthening celebrations. All people return to their respective places after the Easter Sunday Mass.
With wishes and regards to you all!
Yours sincerely in the Risen Christ!
Fr. Albert Kalu
