Divine Mercy Sunday

On this Second Sunday of Easter, we celebrate 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. The Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska records 14 different occasions when Jesus revealed to her His desires concerning the Feast of Mercy (Divine Mercy Sunday). Jesus wanted the message of His great love and mercy shared around the world. He wants us to know the depths of His desire to encounter and help us in our brokenness, weakness and sin. He promised great graces to all those who celebrate the feast of Divine Mercy Sunday.

St. Mary Cathedral – Gaylord: 1:00 pm Reconciliation; 2:30 pm Divine Mercy Service
