Join us for Lauds — Morning Prayer!St. Frances Cabrini Parish invites all parishioners to pray Lauds (Morning Prayer) as a community during the liturgical seasons of Lent, Easter, Advent, Christmas, and various Feast Days of the Church. It starts at 8:10 am and ends before our Daily Mass.
According to USCCB, “The Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office, is the daily prayer of the Church, marking the hours of each day and sanc-tifying the day with prayer.” By praying the official prayer of the Church, we are joining with the Catholics throughout the whole world by reciting same words of the Psalms and same intentions. Intro-ductions and directions will be given every time, so do not be afraid if you have no prior experience praying the Liturgy of the Hours!
The Rosary is recited daily following the 8:30 am Mass and on Tuesday evenings at 4:00 pm

Why Divine Mercy Sunday?
Graces Poured OutOur Lord’s words to St. Faustina as found in Diary, paragraph 699, Jesus said, “I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession (within 8 days before or after ‘Mercy Sunday’) and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine flood gates through which grace flow are opened.” Confession can be heard on Saturday at any Church and still “count.”
April 28th is Divine Mercy Sunday. Confessions will be at 2:00 pm in the church, followed by the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 3:00 pm, and Holy Mass at 3:15 pm.
Call Charlotte or Barry LeMay at 408-379-6517 if you have any questions.Many Thanks
