Easter at Saint Charles Borromeo
2026
Exult, let them exhult, the hosts of heaven, exult, let Angel ministers of God exhult, let the trumpet of salvation sound aloud our mighty King’s triumph!
Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory floods her, ablaze with light from her eternal King, let all corners of the earth be glad, knowing an end to gloom and darkness.
Rejoice, let Mother Church also rejoice, arrayed with the lighting for his glory, let this holy building shake with joy, filled with the mighty voices of the peoples.
He is Risen!
