Divine Mercy Sunday is this Sunday, April 27. We will observe it with a full panoply of prayers and sacraments at
St. Joseph Chapel & the Shrine of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (400 South Blvd. W., Pontiac, MI 48341). We are blessed to have the relic of St. Faustina starting tomorrow through Sunday.
Tomorrow we begin the 9 days of mourning for Pope Francis. May the Divine Mercy be upon his soul. We also pray for a holy Supreme Pontiff to be elected.
Remember we have FREE copies of the Archdiocese’s “Pilgrimage Passport” for this Jubilee Year. We also FREE holy cards of “Saint Carlo Acuitis” who WILL be canonized in due time.
A few copies are left of Spiritual Warfare and Divine Mercy: the Weapon for Our Times by Fr. Ken Geraci, CPM.
