DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET FOR THE SICK
One of our parishioners is willing to go to the home of the sick and/or dying to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Please call the rectory (631-283-0667) if you or your loved one is interested.
Our Lord said St. 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. 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).
CONFESSIONS
Just a reminder that confessions are heard every Saturday from 4PM to 4:45PM and before all weekday and Sunday Masses or by appointment. You may call the rectory to schedule a confession.
Confession is a beautiful opportunity to confess your sins to God and seek true forgiveness. This sacrament allows Jesus to absolve your sins and helps you lead a life following the guidance and glory of Christ. While it may seem difficult to confess your deepest fears, regrets, and sins, confession is a liberating experience that allows you to repair your relationship with our Lord.
Regularly going to confession can heal and cleanse the soul and alleviate the guilt of living life in sin having sinned against God. (Catholic World Mission)
