Sunday April 12 is known as Mercy Sunday. Sister Maria Faustina was of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. Sister Faustina was Canonized by Pope St. John Paul on April 30, 2000. Our Lord Jesus Christ taught St. Faustina throughout her life in the cause of His Universal and Unlimited Mercy. He instructed St. Faustina to teach the Chaplet of Divine Mercy to the world and that the first Sunday after Easter was to be Divine Mercy Sunday. The weekend of April 11-12 at each Mass the Chaplet of Divine Mercy will be prayed. Pamphlets will be made available to assist in this most blessed prayer from our Lord Jesus.
