On April 3, 2026, Kennedy marked Good Friday with a message referencing its religious significance: “Today, we remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross—the ultimate expression of love. Wishing you a blessed Good Friday.”
Two days later, on April 5, 2026, he extended Easter wishes: “Becky and I are wishing you and your families a very Happy Easter!”
