Catholic Review Online: Divine Mercy Sunday is April 19

In a story dated today, George P. Matysek, Jr. gives a nice roundup of the Divine Mercy services scheduled for the Sunday after Easter:

When St. Faustina Kowalska received revelations from Jesus over the course of her short life, the Polish nun reported that Christ frequently asked that a feast day be dedicated to Divine Mercy and that the feast be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter.

Those requests became a reality in 2000 when Pope John Paul II established the feast of Divine Mercy as a way for believers to seek God’s mercy and forgiveness in a special way.

Parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Baltimore will celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday April 19 and many will also offer opportunities to receive the sacrament of reconciliation, participate in eucharistic adoration and pray the Divine Mercy novena.

I have posted information on how to say the Chaplet and Novena, the beginning of the Novena which was today, and the Archdiocesan Divine Mercy Shrine which is Holy Rosary Parish. The article also mentions the service at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen; note that the Divine Mercy will follow the TLM Mass at 11:30 at Saint Alphonsus as well.
