ADULT FORMATION CLASS
- Wednesday, April 7th ˆ We are adding another adult formation class! The class will be led by Shelly Fitzsimmons
and held in the Newman Chapel from 6:30-8:00pm. The subject will be “Divine Mercy Sunday”,
which is celebrated the Sunday after Easter. The message and devotion to Jesus as THE DIVINE MERCY is based
on a 600 page diary written by Saint Faustina Kowalska, an uneducated Polish nun. The message of mercy is that God loves
us ˆ all of us ˆ no matter how great our sins. Please bring a Rosary.

are greatly appreciated.
