Several archdiocesan parishes to livestream Divine Mercy Sunday services on April 19

Parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Indianapolis will livestream Divine Mercy Sunday services on April 19.

St. John Paul II instituted the observance of Divine Mercy Sunday on the first Sunday after Easter. The devotion is based on the visions of

St. Faustina Kowalska, a member of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy who died in 1938.

Additionally, the Divine Mercy novena prior to the feast day begins on Good Friday, which is on April 10 this year.

To learn more about the novena and the possible plenary indulgence and promises connected to Divine Mercy Sunday, go to www.thedivinemercy.org.
