DIMAPUR — The North East Catholic Community in Bengaluru celebrated Easter Sunday with joy and enthusiasm as the Catholic faithful gathered to commemorate the special occasion of Christ’s resurrection.

According to an update, the liturgy was led by Rev. Fr. Dionysius Vaz SJ, the Jesuit Provincial of Karnataka. The event was held in a peaceful and reverent atmosphere. People from diverse backgrounds, including Catholics, Protestants and others, attended the celebration with a sense of happiness and energy.

The programme included a solemn Holy Eucharistic ceremony and a touching recognition for the outgoing nuns and priests from the North East states. The event was further enlivened by a cultural performance from the Good Shepherd convent boarders and a soulful solo by Jemima Isla.
