EASTER CELEBRATION | The Gethsemane Parish community gathered to celebrate the glorious triumph of life over death during the Easter Vigil and the dawn of Easter Sunday (Sugat)

The Easter Vigil, was solemnly celebrated and presided over by Msgr. Antonio Quintana. In the stillness of the night, we journeyed from darkness into light, symbolizing Christ’s victory over sin and death. As the Paschal Candle was lit, our hearts were reminded that no darkness can overcome the light of Christ.

In the renewal of our baptismal promises, we reaffirmed our faith and commitment to live as children of the light. Truly, the Resurrection of Christ brings new life, new beginnings, and unending hope to all.

At the break of dawn, the parish community joyfully witnessed the Sugat Celebration. It was a moment filled with joy, music, and deep faith, reminding us that sorrow has turned into rejoicing, and death into life.

The celebration continued with the Holy Mass presided over by Fr. Irwin Pilario, where the faithful gathered as one community to proclaim the Good News: Christ is Risen! Alleluia!

May this Easter season inspire us to live as witnesses of the Resurrection—bringing light where there is darkness, hope where there is despair, and love where there is need.

In Gethsemane, we rejoice as one community, renewed in faith and alive in Christ.
