OUR ANNUAL THEME FOR THE LITURGICAL YEAR 2024- 25 Sanctuary, our annual theme for 2024-25, symbolizes the refuge that teens find in Christ. It transcends from the sacred altars of our Parish into the secular aspects of their daily lives, bringing peace amidst chaos, order amidst disorder, and love amid fear. Sanctuary is a beacon of Divine Shelter, offering us refuge in times of trial. It celebrates the sanctity of our Inner Sanctuary, turning the ordinary into Sacred Space and inspiring hope and transformation.

The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us – all of us. And, He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.
Divine Mercy Sunday Prayer Service: April 12th at 3:00 pm
Jesus told Saint Faustina that many graces would be given to those who observe Divine Mercy Sunday.
[Jesus said,] I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: “Jesus, I trust in You”
(Diary, 327).
To learn more about these graces and the requirements to receive these graces, please visit:
