Divine Mercy Sunday Celebration
Divine Mercy Sunday will be celebrated in Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church, 320 West Lynde St. Watertown, on Sunday, April 28th, at 3:00PM.
On Good Friday, April 19th, also at 3:00 PM, the devotion will begin with the praying of the Chaplet in the church. We are encouraged to celebrate the Feast of Mercy. Pope Francis declared 2016 the year of Mercy! We are all called to bring home fallen-away Catholics. There couldn't be a better time to INVITE THEM BACK to the church because of the promise Jesus made concerning this devotion. Jesus said "any soul that would go to confession & receive communion without a mortal sin, on that feast day, would receive total forgiveness for their sins & punishment". Your soul will be blemish free like it was on the day of your Baptism!!! Jesus said “Let no soul fear to draw near to Me”(in confession) The GREATER THE SINNER THE MORE HE IS ENTITLED TO GODS MERCY!! (No SIN IS TOO GREAT TO BE FORGIVEN) For more info or questions on Divine Mercy Sunday...Call Judy @315-783-7349, or visit www.thedivinemercy.org
