An area celebration will be held on Sunday, April 11th at Holy Family Parish beginning at 2 p.m. The schedule includes:

Our Lord told St. Faustina concerning this Feast of Mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. "On that day, all the divine floodgates are opened of which graces flow. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me even though its sins be as scarlet."

Divine Mercy Sunday is celebrated on the Octave of Easter (the eighth day of Easter; that is, the Sunday after Easter Sunday). Celebrating the Divine Mercy of Jesus Christ, as revealed by Christ Himself to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, this feast was extended to the entire Catholic Church by Pope John Paul II on April 30, 2000, the day that he canonized Saint Faustina. Christ's Divine Mercy is the love that He has for mankind, despite our sins that separate us from Him.
