Easter Season
Kindness Lives!
During this Easter season, we celebrate the triumph of life over death, hope over fear, and love over all that divides us. The light of Christ has risen in our world, in our parish, and in every Act of Kindness we’ve shared.
Click Here To Enter Your Act of KindnessThis Lent, our parish came together and completed over 22,000 Acts of Kindness across six continents. We showed kindness to neighbors and strangers, cared for our planet and our families, supported the elderly and the sick, and practiced compassion both online and in person.
Every act became a spark of hope and a reflection of Christ’s love.
The Resurrection is not the end of our journey. It’s the beginning. Jesus calls us to live with joy, mercy, and renewed compassion for every person.
As we continue through Easter, let’s carry the spirit of Kindness forward. Every act of service says: Christ is risen, and His love lives in me.
Thank you for being part of this movement. Don’t let it end.
Click the link above to record your Acts of Kindness. May we always be a parish that chooses kindness and compassion.
Alleluia! Christ is Risen — He is truly Risen!
