The seventh annual Celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday on April 7 will be at St. Maria’s Goretti Church, Laflin Road, Laflin. The celebration was moved from the Oblates because the congregation has been growing. Cathy Mack is the coordinator of the feast and the Cennacle Leader of the Eucharistic Apostles of Divine Mercy. The theme centers on the celebration of the 75th anniversary of St. Faustina’s entering into Eternal Life. Prior to the service remarks and excerpts from the Diary of St. Faustina will be given by Cathy Mack. The itinerary includes: 1 p.m. - Sacrament of Reconciliation with five priests; 2 p.m. - Veneration of the Image followed by the Holy Sacrifice of Mass; 3 p.m. - Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Chaplet of the Divine Mercy in song, individual blessing of the First Class Relic of St. Faustina. Jesus said in 14 revelations to St. Faustina that the Sunday after Easter be celebrated as the Feast of Mercy. On April 30, 2000 at the canonization of St. Faustina, Blessed John Paul II said, “It is important that we accept the whole message that comes to us from the word of God on this Second Sunday of Easter, which from now on will be called Divine Mercy Sunday.

They truly draw the faithful into the mystery of salvation. · Begin with the Mass of the Last Supper on Thursday at 7 p.m. which includes the symbolic “Washing of the Feet” which Jesus did to his Apostles. · Then, of course, Good Friday with the re-enactment of the Lord’s Passion at 3 p.m. or the service of the Lord’s Passion at 5:30 p.m. · The Easter Triduum ends with the Easter Vigil Mass at 8 p.m. on Saturday. Taking part in the events of these three days reminds the faithful of God’s presence and forgiveness of allas his people strive to do God’s will in their daily lives.
