Divine Mercy Novena - 3pm Friday
The Divine Mercy is a Christian devotion to the endless merciful
love of God towards all people. The devotion is due to
the apparitions of Jesus received by saint Faustina
Kowalska(1905-1938), who is known as the Secretary of Mercy.
Faustina Kowalska reported a number of apparitions, visions and
conversations with Jesus which she wrote in her diary, later published as the
book Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul.
Novena to the Divine Mercy takes place every Friday in Carraroe Church
beginning at 3:00pm. All are welcome to attend. Information booklet available
at the Church Bookstand.
