Ministry Leaders Meeting

SMMA Ministry Leaders Meeting
Saturday, March 23, 8:30 – Noon
In the Parish Center

The Stewardship Committee is planning a Ministry Leaders Meeting.

We are requesting every ministry be represented by at least one ministry
leader; however, multiple ministry leaders are preferred and even the smallest ministries are asked to attend.

The meeting will cover aligning the parish ministry to our existing ministries, increasing volunteers, and learning how to access parish resources that can help ministries with meetings, messaging, and events.

This invite is also extended to all parishioners who are interested in wanting to get involved more with our parish ministries, we encourage you to attend.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Joanne Giljum at joannegiljum@gmail.com.

To RSVP contact Beth Vortriede by text/phone at 314-306-5896 or dbvortriede@charter.net.

Divine Mercy Sunday

 

Sunday, April 7th

The preparation for the Feast of Mercy is to be preceded by a novena beginning on Good Friday. Our Lord gave Sister Faustina an intention to pray for on each day of the Novena with the Chaplet prayers. Those daily intentions are:

1. Today bring to Me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.

2. Today bring to Me the souls of priests and religious, and immerse them in My unfathomable mercy.

3. Today bring to Me all devout and faithful souls, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.

4. Today bring to Me those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know Me.

5. Today bring to Me the souls of those who have separated themselves from the Church.

6. Today bring to Me the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children, and immerse them in My mercy.

7. Today bring to Me the souls who especially venerate and glorify My Mercy and immerse them in My mercy.

8. Today bring to Me the souls who are detained in purgatory and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy.

9. Today bring to Me souls who have become lukewarm, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy.

Our Lord said to Saint Faustina:

“Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you…Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death… When they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the Merciful Savior… Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy. I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy… Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will.”
(687, 1541, 1731)
