Divine Mercy Sunday

Divine Mercy Sunday

PRAY THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET

During the course of Jesus' revelations to Saint Faustina on the Divine Mercy, He asked on numerous occasions that a feast day be dedicated to the Divine Mercy on the Sunday after Easter. This Feast was granted to the Universal Church by Pope John Paul II on the occasion of the canonization of St. Faustina on April 30, 2000.

In a decree dated May 23, 2000, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments stated that “throughout the world the Second Sunday of Easter will receive the name Divine Mercy Sunday, a perennial invitation to the Christian world to face, with confidence in divine benevolence, the difficulties and trials that mankind will experience in the years to come.”

Please come and pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet, offered after the 9:00am Mass on Sunday, April 16.
