Chaplet of Divine Mercy

Join St. Katharine Drexel Mission in praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy after the 8:00 AM Mass each Sunday at Battlefield High School. Why do we pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet?
We pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for mercy, in our own lives and in our neighbors too. We also pray to remind ourselves that we must rely on God; we must recognize our weakness and replace our anxieties and worries with abounding trust in God.
