Join us in praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy after the Saturday 5:00 PM Mass and Sunday 7:30AM Mass.
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.
We will meet in the rear of the church after the Mass. The Chaplet is relatively short, taking approximately 10 minutes. Please consider joining us!
