Divine Mercy Sunday
For anyone who is interested in receiving the special graces promised by our Lord on Divine Mercy Sunday (the Sunday after Easter – April 7th) it is necessary for them to begin their personal preparations beginning this coming Friday which is Good Friday, March 29th. For more information look for the Divine Mercy Poster at the church entrance as well as the information sheet in last Sunday’s bulletin. To assist all those who would like to receive the special graces promised by Jesus, the final requirement of ceremoniously exposing and blessing the image of Divine Mercy for everyone to venerate will take place during a special Holy Hour of Adoration at Holy Trinity Church on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 7th beginning at 3pm which is the hour of our Lord’s mercy. For any questions, do not hesitate to ask Father Peter.
Lenten Folders
For those using the Lenten coin folders we ask that you avoid taping individual quarters. It makes them very sticky, which makes our bank very unhappy. The folders are treated especially gently to ensure nothing falls out. There is also a place on the folder for you to write in the total amount in the folder. As long as you write in the amount, there is no need to worry if a quarter or two become dislodged. As always, we thank you for your help.
Catholicism – Episode X
Thursday, March 21st, 7pm in the Saint Joachim’s Parish Center
“WORLD WITHOUT END: THE LAST THINGS”
Explore the Church’s conviction that life here and now is preparation for an extraordinary world that is yet to come – a supernatural destiny. Father Barron presents the Catholic vision of death, judgment, heaven, hell and purgatory as he journeys to Florence, Ireland and Rome.
The vision of the Church sees beyond this world and invites us to consider a world without end. Father Barron shows how this vision is supported by the mystery and truth of the Resurrection of Jesus.
