PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY – APRIL 12, 2026
1. TODAY, DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY – APRIL 12, 2026
• In a series of revelations to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska in the 1930s, our Lord called for a special feast day to be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. Today, we know that feast as Divine Mercy Sunday, established by Pope St. John Paul II at the canonization of St. Faustina on April 30, 2000.
• We invite everyone to participate in Devotion to Divine Mercy today at 3:00 pm.
• Today before the 9:30 am and 11:00 am Mass we will have the opening ceremony of the newly painted church. Thanks to your generosity we were able to celebrate Triduum and Easter back in the church. This is a testimony to this simple truth that if we work together for the greater good a lot can be achieved.
