√ There is a change of plans for the pilgrimage to the Divine Mercy Shrine which was scheduled for April 23, the Saturday before Divine Mercy Sunday. Due to restrictions on the number of buses allowed into the shrine this year, we have decided to cancel our pilgrimage. Instead, we will hold a Divine Mercy Prayer Vigil with Eucharistic Adoration & reflections in the rectory chapel- from 6-9pm on Saturday April 23. This is a great way to prepare for Divine Mercy Sunday (following day)
We will be praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet & the last day of novena, as well as some really beautiful prayers derived from the Diary of St Faustina.
√ Divine Mercy Novena . Looking ahead to April 24th, the Sunday after Easter Sunday: That day we will celebrate the great Feast of Divine Mercy. We will be preparing for this Feast through our daily Divine Mercy Novena prayers that begins on Good Friday. Pray this Novena with us or pray it each day with your family.

A note about Dr Pitre:
Dr Brant Pitre is a renowned & insightful Bible scholar.
What blessing it is to listen to Dr Pitre's study on the Mass readings, to " be instructed in the Old Testament background of the Gospel, the Jewish rabbinical tradition, the testimony and interpretation of the early Church Fathers, the Church's magisterial teaching, and the personal insights of a leading Catholic Scripture scholar.
Dr. Pitre makes the Scripture come alive, and his love for God's Word comes through loud and clear. He communicates profound insights into Scripture in a manner available to everyone, from the beginner to the accomplished student or scholar"
Fr. Miles Walsh, S.T.D.
The discussions following the video presentation is led by our own Fr Peter Okafor.
