Divine Mercy Sunday
Divine Mercy Sunday

This Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday, devoted to the Christological apparitions of Jesus reported by Saint Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938). She is know as "the Apostle of Mercy" and was a Polish religious sister of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. She was canonized as a Catholic saint in 2000 by then-Pope John Paul II. See this week's Liturgy-Music-Prayer section of the bulletin for more information and about praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

HOMILY: Second Sunday of Easter

This Sunday, Fr. Gregg Bronsema's homily will be taken from Acts 2:42: "They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers." Check out a preview of his homily, "Discipleship is Communal Life," in this week's bulletin cover.
