Divine Mercy Novena

Friday, April 10 – Saturday, April 18

Jesus said later to Sister Faustina:

Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you. Anyone who says it will receive great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as the last hope. Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will receive grace from My Infinite Mercy. I want the whole world to know my Infinite Mercy. I want to give unimaginable grace to those who trust in My Mercy.


Please join us in one united prayer. Let our voices and prayers be received in Heaven as we prepare for Divine Mercy Sunday on April 19th.

Follow this link for how to recite the Chaplet.

On Good Friday, the first day of the Novena will be prayed after the Celebration of the Passion of our Lord at approximately 4:00 pm. On the next 8 days it will be at 3:00 pm.

Reconciliation – Drive Through

Friday, April 10 and Saturday, April 11

The Sacrament of Reconciliation brings us into communion with God. Our relationship is restored and our commitment to follow Jesus’ teachings is strengthened through healing and forgiveness.

Our prayer of contrition allows us to look inward. In humility we bring all that we are, our brokenness and our weakness to our God. With our contrite hearts exposed, we know with certainty that our loving God will forgive us.

My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you
whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy


Father Obi is offering two additional opportunities to receive the healing Sacrament of Reconciliation in preparation for the joy of His Resurrection at Easter. The first is on Good Friday between 12:00 pm and 1:15 pm. The second will be on Holy Saturday between 9:00 am and 11:00 am.

In order to maintain social distancing, Father will hear confessions in his garage at St. Ann’s. You will remain in your vehicle and Father will be behind a screen.

Further details are in the Event pages (Friday, Saturday) of our website.
