DIVINE MERCY, a study program appropriate to this Year of Mercy, will begin in the week of October 10 and extend for six weeks, ending the week of November 14.  There will be one 60-75 minute meeting each week that will be devoted to the reading and discussion of selected short biblical passages on mercy as an attribute of God's love and a necessary virtue in human life.  Parishioners can choose to sign-up for one of four groups.  Three groups will meet in the morning at 9:45 on Monday (Deacon Larry Lipsmeyer, facilitator), Wednesday (Paula Doyle, facilitator), and Thursday (Tom Canavan, facilitator).  One group will meet on Wednesday evening at 6:00 p.m. with Dave Johnston as facilitator.

Each participant will be asked to purchase Divine Mercy by Stephen Binz for $12.  The text, which will be distributed at the first meeting of each group, includes scriptural passages illustrating God's mercy.

Those who are not able to participate in one of the organized groups are encouraged to purchase Divine Mercy and follow the text's guidelines for individual study.  If you wish to follow the program for individual study, please contact Linda Daniels in the parish office at 922-2062, extension 10, and request that a copy of the text be ordered for you.
