In private revelation to St. Maria Faustina, Jesus asked that the Feast of Divine Mercy be celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter.  He told her" "On that day, all the Divine floodgates, through which graces flow, are opened.  The soul who will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment."  Jesus also revealed that He wanted a Novena to the Divine Mercy to be made before the Feast of Divine Mercy.

Here at Sacred Heart, we will have a Divine Mercy Hour of Prayer on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 12, beginning at 3:00 p.m. with song, veneration of the Image of Divine Mercy, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy as a novena, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.  Also, a parish Novena to the Divine Mercy will be prayed on Good Friday, April 3, at 9:00 a.m.; and, before Easter Vigil Mass on Saturday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m.  This is a great opportunity for parishioners to gain special grace from God!
