Presented by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

With a trumpet blast and an “Alleluia!” Christ’s resurrection will be proclaimed from the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame.  Holy Cross fathers Richard Warner, director of campus ministry and Rev. Peter Rocco, shrine rector, will concelebrate the Easter Mass together with the fifty-member choir and congregation.  Students will proclaim the Easter readings and participate in the renewal of their baptismal rites. It is this joyful and youthful celebration that so clearly embodies Easter.  As Christ’s resurrection brings us spiritual rebirth so to do these many faith-filled young men and women energize us with their embodiment of God’s light.
