Immediately following Mass, we will pray the Chaplet and Litany of Divine Mercy, as well as prayers for a plenary indulgence. Veneration of the Image of Divine Mercy and First Class relic of St. Faustina will follow the prayers. Divine Mercy prayers and other materials are available in the gathering area. Aluminum Collection is April 7th and 8th Thanks for your support!! St. Vincent De Paul Today as we celebrate the feast of Easter we find the challenge of also seeing and believing the resurrection that comes through our own lives of self-sacrifice which brings new life to others. Your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will show the love of the Risen Christ by bringing your love to those who live in fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.
