The most prominent days in the liturgical year are Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday is set as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox (start of Spring).

At the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday evening and Easter Sunday we celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection and it is through the risen Christ that we have the promise of eternal life. Our faith is not in vain, it has a sure foundation.

Paschal Time begins on Easter Sunday and covers a period of fifty days until Pentecost. The lighting of the Paschal Candle at the Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday, symbolising the presence of the risen Christ, thus heralds the start of Paschal Time, a time of great joy and celebration.

Forty days after Easter we celebrate the great feast of the Ascension, when we believe that Jesus ascended to heaven in the presence of the Apostles, allowing us to enter and according to St Paul "to sit at God’s right hand".
