Divine Mercy Sunday Holy Hour & Confession
Maria Hayes • April 16, 2025
This year, deanery parishes are collaborating to host a single Divine Mercy Sunday Celebration at St. John Paul II Parish in Sellersburg. The event includes Confessions from 2-3pm, a Holy Hour with hymns, scripture reading and reflection, and singing the Divine Mercy Chaplet, and concluding with a reception at 4pm. Jesus said to St. Faustina in a private revelation about the Divine Mercy Feast: "The soul that would go to Confession and receive Holy Communion will obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment..." (Diary, 699). Please join us at St. John Paul II to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, on April 27th!
