What started out as a rainy day, turned into a beautiful Feast Day on April 15th. There were many new and old faces coming together to partake of the celebration. It started at 2:30 PM with a short talk on the meaning of this feast (see full text below), explaining St. Faustina's pivotal role and our late Pope, John Paul II as the instrumental force that made the Feast of Divine Mercy and its message known and which continues to spread like wildfire.
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy was then prayed, and the Knights of Columbus' Color Guard processed in with the Divine Mercy Image which really set the tone for a beautiful Mass celebrated by Fr. Pat Crowley. It was enhanced by the beautiful singing of the Filipino Choir accompanied by Annie on the organ.
The congregation was very generous with their 'love offering' for Fr. Pat Crowley who was very appreciative and said he would use it to help his community in Hemet.
The potluck afterwards was a big success with enough for everyone and the leftover cake was given to Night Life afterwards.
We received many nice comments about the celebration and.hope and pray that everyone involved will be called to spread the message of Divine Mercy.
JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU!
