Position for Parish Social Media Person! Could it be you?

Divine Mercy Parish is looking for a creative and aesthetically gifted young adult interested in enhancing our social media presence.

The Parish Office will be closed this Friday, July 3, in observance of Independence Day. Normal office hours will resume on Monday, July 6. We wish you and your family a safe, happy, and blessed holiday weekend!

Happy Memorial Day!

We honor those who gave their lives to protect our country. In observance of the holiday, our church office is closed today. Normal business hours will resume tomorrow, May 26.

There will only be one Mass at 9:00 a.m this morning at St. Maria Goretti. The Mass will be given in honor of the deceased veterans of our Parish.

Happy Pentecost Sunday!

Today, 50 days after Easter, the Church celebrates Pentecost, the conclusion of the Easter season and the birthday of the Church!

From today's reflection in Magnificat, by Servant of God Luis Martinez: "The Holy Spirit is called the Paraclete, the Consoler, because he gives souls in exile a happiness that is not incompatible with grief, but rather supposes it. Therefore, in the Mass of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit is called 'Consolator optime--Best Consoler.'...

"And if the Holy Spirit is the Consoler, it is because he is infinite Love. Even in human life, if we consider attentively, we shall understand that the only thing that can console us is love. Knowledge is precious, but it does not console. Art delights us, but its object is not to console; the only thing that consoles is love. When our heart is torn to pieces, when great bitterness fills our souls, nothing but a divine reality can assuage our pain--love: love that knows how to bind divinely both pain and grief. Love alone possesses the heavenly secret of drawing forth happiness from profound sorrow and pain."

May the Holy Spirit, the Consoler, fill our hearts today with His gift of love, and may this love spread through the whole Church and the whole world! Come, Holy Spirit!

Recently, we welcomed a record 24 new members into our Parish. One of them was 93-year old Belle Goebel! Read her beautiful, inspiring story of faith and thank you to Madison Catholic Herald for sharing it!
