What is Divine Mercy Sunday?
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, named by Pope St. John Paul II at the canonization of St. Faustina on April 30, 2000.
Divine Mercy Sunday is an opportunity for plenary indulgence. Visit thedivinemercy.com to learn more.

Diocesan Ministry Appeal
The story of Thomas, the doubting apostle, is our story. We long to believe more deeply and to see Christ in the midst of fear. Jesus’s disciples, including us today, encounter the Risen Christ in different ways and at different times. And Our Lord always meets us where we are, coming through our locked doors to offer us peace and forgiveness. When we welcome Christ into our lives it is difficult not to want to share this love with others. We can—through a gift to the Diocesan Ministry Appeal. Please prayerfully consider supporting the Church’s mission to bringing peace, mercy, and love to those who may still feel closed off or in need.
Prayer Intention
As we pray together each day at 3pm, please join us in praying for candidates for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
