Looking for an Easter Sunday service to attend in Oakville for 2023? There are dozens of churches with special services this year.
Unlike Easter the last three years, most churches in town are now open for in-person, live services to all visitors without distancing, capacity limits or reservations required.
To help make your holiday planning a bit easier, we've listed all church services for Easter Sunday, set for tomorrow, Sunday, April 9, 2023.
Many churches are also still doing live feeds, so if you aren't able to attend in-person, you can also take part from the comfort of your home.
And of course, the Oakville News' team does our best to make sure all services are listed. With more than 100 places of worship in town, however, it is possible we missed one.
Please leave a comment at the end of this post so that all our readers can benefit from knowing of more Easter services, and this article will be regularly updated throughout the Easter long weekend.
