Divine Mercy Sunday

DEVOTION ON SUNDAY, APRIL 24 AT 2PM

DIVINE MERCY NOVENA BEGINS ON GOOD FRIDAY, APRIL 15

On the Sunday after Easter, April 30, 2000, St. Faustina Kowalska (Aug. 25, 1905–Oct. 5, 1938) was solemnly canonized in Rome by Pope John Paul II. He also established Divine Mercy Sunday to be celebrated worldwide. 
 
Our Lord told St. Faustina to pray the Chaplet nine days before the Feast of Mercy. It is to begin on Good Friday. "By this Novena, I will grant every possible grace to souls." (Diary, 796) "I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of my mercy." (Diary, 1209) 
 
Pamphlets with the Novena and Chaplet are available in the atrium and parish office.
