Worshipers dressed in their Sunday best came to the church in New Hope, Bucks County to celebrate the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord on Easter Sunday morning, April 1. Although an old parish founded in 1885, the church is of new construction that also incorporates sacred art both new and old.
