The Divine Mercy Prayer Service at All Saints is a special, moving parish celebration of God’s great Mercy and outpouring of Graces! Jesus told St. Faustina that he wishes this observance of his devotion be spread throughout the world for salvation and peace. Please join us each year on Divine Mercy Sunday and make this powerful devotion part of your life!

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY PRAYER SERVICE
All Saints celebrates Divine Mercy Sunday, the Sunday after Easter, by having a special Prayer Service following the 12:15pm Mass on Divine Mercy Sunday. We invite all families to join in this day of extraordinary grace and promise! On this day, Jesus told St. Faustina, “The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment…On that day, the very depths of My tender mercy are opened. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of my mercy” (Diary, 699). This is an extraordinary promise because normally when we go to Confession, the eternal punishment due to sin (hell) is removed, but the temporal punishment due to sin (purgatory) may still remain. The extraordinary graces of Divine Mercy Sunday, however, remove ALL sins and punishment when we accept the Lord’s invitation to heed the following:
- Profess a valid Confession during Lent or before DM Sunday
- Worthily receive Holy Communion on DM Sunday or Saturday Vigil
- Venerate the Image of Divine Mercy
- Repent and commit to amending our lives
- Be merciful to others through word, deed and prayer
The All Saints Divine Mercy Prayer Service includes:
- † Reflections on the Diary of St. Faustina
- † Litany of Divine Mercy
- † Veneration of the Divine Mercy Image
- † Chaplet of Divine Mercy
During this special Prayer Service at All Saints, let us especially remember our families, our Church, and the world, that we may ask for God’s Mercy and trust in the immeasurable depths of His most compassionate heart.
