Easter Egg Hunt

Mothers & Others is sponsoring a parish wide Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday March 15, 2008 at the church. The program for the day is:

10:00 a.m. Children's Easter Liturgy by Fr. Mark
10:15 a.m. Blessing of the Easter baskets
10:20 a.m. Easter Bonnet/Hat Procession (bring already decorated bonnet/hat)
10:30 a.m. Easter Egg Hunt (three age groups: 1-3, 4-6, 7-10)
11:00 a.m. Picnic Lunch (bring your own lunch and blankets/chairs and eat with new friends!)

Please bring one dozen plastic filled eggs per child.

The Easter egg symbolizes Jesus' resurrection: just as a little chick pecks its way out from the egg shell to emerge to new life, so Christ emerged from the tomb to new and everlasting life. The unbroken egg symbolizes the rock tomb of our Lord; and when broken, symbolizes that He has risen from the dead.
