The Divine Mercy is a Catholic devotion to the mercy of God associated with the reported apparitions of Jesus to Faustina Kowalska. The Divine Mercy message and devotion has been called the largest grassroots movement in the history of the Catholic Church.

Sister Faustina (1905-1938) was a young, uneducated nun in a convent of the Congregation of Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Poland during the 1930s.  She came from a poor family that struggled during the years of World War I.  She had only three years of simple education, so hers were the humblest tasks in the convent, usually in the kitchen or garden.  However, she received extraordinary revelations — or messages — from our Lord Jesus.  Jesus asked Sr. Faustina to record these experiences, which she compiled into notebooks.  These notebooks are known today as the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, and the words contained within are God’s loving message of Divine Mercy.

In preparation for Divine Mercy Sunday (April 27, 2025), we will study Divine Mercy on two Saturdays. On April 5 at 10 am in the Hall, we view and discuss Divine Mercy 101 by Fr Chris Alar.

And on April 12 we will listen to the podcast and discuss The Necessity of Divine Mercy by Fr. Chris Alar.
