WHAT IS DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY?
It is based on the private revelations of St. Faustina Kowalska. Jesus said to St. Faustina: "the Feast of My Mercy has issued forth from My very depths for the consolation of the whole world" (Diary 1517). Jesus gave us the Feast as a source of comfort and salvation for souls.

Celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday at St. Faustina!
On Divine Mercy Sunday, we reflect on the mercy of God.
Indulgences for Divine Mercy SundayMy daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy (Diary, 699).
A plenary indulgence can be acquired by attending a church on Divine Mercy Sunday “in a spirit that is completely detached from the affection for a sin, even a venial sin,” and participating in prayers dedicated to Divine Mercy, as stated in a 2002 decree.
- Practices for this indulgence may include devotions like the divine mercy chaplet, eucharistic adoration, and confession.
- Encouraged to visit the Blessed Sacrament, either exposed or in the tabernacle, and recite the Our Father, the Nicene Creed, and a sincere prayer to Christ, like "Jesus, I trust in you!"
- To gain the indulgence, one must fulfill the usual conditions of confessing, receiving Communion, and praying for the intentions of the Holy Father. While receiving both sacraments on the same day is ideal, they can be received up to about 20 days before or after.
- For the sick or those who cannot make it, a plenary indulgence can still be obtained. They should intend to confess, receive Communion, and pray for the Holy Father's intentions promptly while reciting the Our Father and the Nicene Creed before an image of Jesus. Additionally, they should offer a heartfelt invocation to Christ, such as "Jesus, I trust in you."
We will recite the Chaplet of Divine Mercy in different languages on Divine Mercy Sunday at 3:00 pm in the Church. Everyone is encouraged to come or join us online for this chaplet.
