The Ultimate Catholic Easter Checklist
Here’s your Catholic Easter checklist to keep the celebration alive! 🎉
1. Start Each Morning with an Easter Prayer 🙏
Gather as a family to pray a simple Resurrection prayer. Thank Jesus for His victory over death and ask for the grace to live joyfully today.
2. Display a Resurrection Cross or Icon ✝️
Place a beautiful cross, Resurrection art, or a white cloth in your home as a daily reminder of the victory of Easter.
3. Attend Daily Mass or Adoration 🕊️
If possible, visit Jesus in the Eucharist during the Easter season. Even attending one extra Mass or Holy Hour can fill your heart with grace!
4. Host a Family Easter Meal 🍞
Celebrate with a special meal focused on gratitude and love. Share what Easter means to each family member before you eat!
5. Sing Easter Hymns Together 🎶
Fill your home with joyful Easter music like Jesus Christ Is Risen Today or Regina Caeli. Singing lifts the soul and honors Christ’s victory.
6. Read the Resurrection Stories from the Gospels 📖
Choose a different Gospel account (like Luke 24) each week and read it together. Reflect on the joy and amazement of the first Easter morning.
7. Create Resurrection Crafts or Activities 🎨
Fun activities like making Resurrection gardens, Easter candle decorations, or empty tomb crafts bring the season alive for kids and adults!
8. Give to Others in the Spirit of Easter
The Resurrection calls us to love and serve. Find a small way to give — whether it’s donating to a food pantry or writing letters of encouragement.
9. Pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary
Meditating on the Glorious Mysteries is a beautiful way to stay close to the risen Christ. Offer your Rosary for family unity and joy!
