Come to the Feast of Divine Mercy!

You are all invited to come and join the Apostles of Divine Mercy in celebrating this great day of Mercy and the decree by Pope Francis that

Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II will canonized on Divine Mercy Sunday.Jesus asked that the Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena to the Divine Mercy, which begins on Good Friday, April 18th. He gave St. Faustina an intention to pray for on each day of the Novena, saving the last day the most difficult intention of all, the lukewarm and indifferent of whom he said: “These souls cause me more suffering than an others; it was from such souls that My soul felt the most revulsion in the Garden of Olives.”During the solemn Novena leading to divine Mercy Sunday, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy should be offered each day for the day’s intentions.Please join us on April 27th, at 3:00 pm (Cathedral of St. John the Baptist) when we will celebrate the Feast of Divine Mercy with a Holy Hour with Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament and will conclude with Benediction.“MY DAUGHTER, TELL THE WHOLE WORLD ABOUT MY INCONCEIVABLE MERCY, I DESIRE THAT THE FEAST OF MERCY BE A REFUGE AND SHELTER FOR ALL SOULS, AND ESPECIALLY FOR POOR SINNERS. ON THAT DAY THE VERY DEPTHS OF MY TENDER MERCY ARE OPEN.A Plenary Indulgence, granted under the usual conditions (Sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer for the intentions of the Pope) to the faithful who, on Divine Mercy Sunday, in any Catholic Church or chapel, in a spirit that is completely detached from the affection for a sin, even venial sin, take part in the prayers and devotions held in honor of Divine Mercy.

A priest will be availabe to hear confessions.
