Divine Mercy Sunday Celebration 

Sun April 7th, Divine Mercy Sunday Activities: There will be a special Divine Mercy celebration in the church starting at 2:00 p.m. on April 7, 2024. Join the Divine Mercy Cenacle for Eucharistic Adoration and Confessions from 2pm-3pm followed by veneration of the Divine Mercy image starting at 3pm in the Church. All are welcome.

In her years in the convent, St. Faustina heard a call from God to make God’s mercy known to the world so that the world may more fully receive God’s healing grace. St. Faustina promoted the Chaplet of Divine Mercy which consists of the recitation of prayers to the Eternal Father with the use of the Rosary for the sake of Christ’s sorrowful passion. In the Jubilee Year 2000, Pope John Paul II proclaimed that from that year forward the Second Sunday of Easter would be celebrated as Divine Mercy Sunday.

How to Pray The Chaplet:

1. Begin with the Sign of the Cross, one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and the Apostles’ Creed.
2. On the Our Father beads, recite the following: “Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.”
3. On the ten Hail Mary beads, say the following: “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”
4. Repeat step two and three for all five decades.
5. Conclude by reciting three times: “Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”
