Across Mid-Michigan, neighbors gathered throughout the weekend to celebrate Easter. I sat in on Mass Sunday evening and spoke with parishioner Brian Peacock, who said he has been celebrating Easter there for about 40 years.
"It’s a wonderful community and a wonderful parish. This isn’t my first Mass this weekend. In fact, it’s my fourth, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything," Peacock said.
Peacock said the focus of the weekend is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and coming together as a community to celebrate that message.
"He is risen - that's what it means. The fulfillment of the prophecy of Jesus' life and death and resurrection," Peacock said.
