We will have a TALENT SHOW/ OPEN MIC NIGHT for the festivities!!! Bring your instruments, juggling balls, magic show - whatever! All to rejoice in God's great love for us with JOYFUL FUN!
To get the most out of the graces of Divine Mercy Sunday, Fr. Gaitley explains: "If you go to confession so you're in a state of grace on Divine Mercy Sunday, receive Holy Communion on that day or on the vigil, and desire to receive the promised grace with trust, then you will receive the great grace of Divine Mercy Sunday." See below for Divine Mercy service possibilities!
