The Easter Family Table!
Celebrate the 50 Days of Easter by bringing faith back to the family table.
Throughout the Easter season, families are invited to gather for a simple family meal and prayer at home. Light a candle, share a short scripture, say a prayer of thanksgiving, and reflect together on what Easter means to your family.
We invite families to take a photo of this special moment and share it with our community. Your photo may be featured on our social media pages as we celebrate the joy of the Resurrection in our homes and families.
📸 Send your family photo via WhatsApp to 290-1047.
Together, we will create a beautiful witness of faith and family life during the Easter season, showing that the home is a sacred place where Christ is present at the family table.
“Day by day, breaking bread in their homes, they ate their food with glad and generous hearts.” Acts 2:46

As a born and bred practicing Catholic, in 2022, when I was going through my divorce, I was having difficulty even saying the word. No one besides my very close relatives (that I could count on one hand) and very few friends knew what I was going through and I definitely didn’t share this with those in my church community.…
The moment a child comes out — whether through a heartfelt conversation or a discovery that leaves you breathless — can feel like standing at the edge of unfamiliar territory. For many Christian parents, that moment brings not just love and concern, but a cascade of questions: about faith, about family, about what comes next. That is exactly why a…
