Easter decorations and celebrations

Easter in my parish in Bend proved to be very successful, as usual with hundreds of people attending the weekend Easter Masses. Visitors and parishioners were happy and inspired to see the beautiful decorations in our churches, done respectively by Lupita and Rick Wesseler in the new church, and Judy Kennedy in the historic church.

The Easter Vigil celebrations was the climactic moment of our church liturgical calendar, and the crowds attending the Easter Sunday Mass was overwhelming, with the hope they continue to come regularly. (photos from the Vigil Mass will appear tomorrow)
