Christ is Risen! Alleluia!
In this year of grace, the Jubilee Year 2025, the Church joyfully proclaims to all the world the message of hope—firm, enduring, and radiant—flowing from the empty tomb of the Risen Lord. Our theme, “Pilgrims of Hope”, reminds us that we do not walk alone. Christ walks with us. He is our beginning and our destination, the light that never fades, and the companion who strengthens every step of our journey.
As we contemplate the empty tomb and marvel at the miracle of His resurrection, let us embrace our call to holiness and mission with renewed zeal. Let us be bold in our proclamation of the Good News, sharing the joyous tidings of salvation with a world thirsting for hope and healing.
May the joy, hope, and peace of the Risen Lord permeate every corner of our lives this Easter and beyond. Let us embody His resurrection in our words and deeds, radiating His love and compassion to all we encounter.
With hearts overflowing with Easter joy, let us go forth as a resurrected people, testifying to the transformative power of Christ’s resurrection in our lives.
Alleluia! Christ is risen indeed!
Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed and joy-filled Easter!

Wishing you a blessed and holy Easter!
