Divine Mercy Sunday |
|
Divine Mercy Sunday — Despite the weather on Sunday,
St. Raymond’s in East Rockaway had a good crowd for the
Divine Mercy Sunday devotions. According to Msgr. Bill
Jablonski, pastor at St. Raymond’s, this is one of the first
collaborative events of the Five Towns Deanery
parishes, who decided to combine efforts on
Divine Mercy Sunday in honor of the 50th
anniversary of the diocese. The Chaplet of the
Divine Mercy is a prayer derived from the
writings of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, a
Polish nun who died in 1938 and was canonized in
2000 by Pope John Paul II. |

destroyed.” (TLIC photos by Father Ambrose
