Easter Celebrated In Boston

BOSTON (CBS) - Cardinal Sean O'Malley led Easter service for hundreds of Catholics at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.  It's the first Easter with a new pontiff, Pope Francis, and a changing of direction.

The message Cardinal O'Malley gave to those at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross was similar to his Palm Sunday homily: Now is the time for Catholics to spread the word and bring people back to the church.
