April 12-Divine Mercy Sunday

PLEASE JOIN US!


SUNDAY, April 12 AT 10:30 am
FOR OUR DIVINE MERCY & SUNDAY EUCHARISTIC ADORATION AND PRAYERS

No matter how often or how gravely we have sinned, as long as we repent and confess to a priest, we can receive complete forgiveness. But on Divine Mercy Sunday, we receive an even greater grace. Jesus said to St.. Faustina, "The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day (Divine Mercy Sunday) all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened "

(St. Faustina Kowalska, Diary #699)
