MINISTRY NEWS

Respect Life

Death and Divine Mercy From the Diary of St. Faustina, Jesus said to her, “I promise the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory.” If you are privileged to be present for a relative or anyone at the hour of their death, pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for them. You may find it at www.praydivinemercy.com.
