5 Facebook ad templates your parish can use this Easter

In the past, parishes had a few reliable ways to spread the word about Easter Masses and events: sending out mailers, placing ads in the local newspaper, or securing a radio spot.

And they worked!

But today, there’s an even more effective way to connect with your community—Facebook.

Facebook has become an essential tool for outreach because it’s cost-effective, targeted, and mobile-friendly. It allows you to share details about your Easter services and events directly with people in your community, right where they spend much of their time: on their phones.

Here are several ready-to-use Easter ad ideas designed to help your parish engage your community this season and invite them to experience the life of the Church beyond Easter weekend.

Easter is about more than candy, colorful eggs, or springtime celebrations. It’s a reminder of hope, renewal, and the promise of new life through Christ’s Resurrection. Join us at [parish name] this Easter as we reflect on what the empty tomb means for all of us.

Easter (testimonial)

“Easter changed my life.

When I came to [parish name] for Easter three years ago, I was searching for hope. I found a welcoming community, a message that spoke to my heart, and the grace of God. That Easter, I committed my life to Christ. Since then, my family and I have grown in faith, made lifelong friends, and found a spiritual home here.

This year, I’ll be volunteering as a greeter. I’d love to welcome you to our parish. We’ve even saved a parking spot for you. Join us this Easter at [parish name]—you belong here.”
