In private revelation to St. Maria Faustina, Jesus asked that a Feast of the Divine Mercy be celebrated on the Second Sunday of Easter.  He told her: "On that day, all the divine flood gates 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."

Here at Sacred Heart, we will have a Divine Mercy Holy Hour on Sunday, April 3, at 3:00 p.m. with song, veneration of the Divine Mercy Image, adoration of the Blessed Sacament, the praying of the Divine Mercy Chaplet and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.  The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered throughout the Holy Hour.  Those who wish to receive the graces attached to Divine Mercy Sunday (see above) can go to Confession anytime within  a week or two before or after Divine Mercy Sunday.
