Divine Mercy Sunday—was instituted as the Second Sunday of Easter by St.
John Paul II through the influence of St. Faustina. As the title of the day states,
the universal Church reflects upon the mercy of God ministered to us through
the death and resurrection of Jesus. St. John Paul II wrote of this shortly before
his death, “As a gift to humanity, which sometimes seems bewildered and
overwhelmed by the power of evil, selfishness, and fear, the Risen Lord offers
His love that pardons, reconciles, and reopens hearts to love. It is love that
converts hearts and gives peace. How much the world needs to understand and accept Divine Mercy!”
You are invited to be part of the Divine Mercy Hour here at the church starting at 3 PM, on Sunday,
April 8. A time of Eucharistic adoration will occur and the Divine Mercy Chaplet will be prayed.
Seminarian Summer Placement—Starting in late May through most of the summer, Archdiocesan
seminarian Joshua Link will be with us as a newly ordained transitional deacon. You will be given the
opportunity to help him to minister to you as a deacon in preparation for his ordination to the
priesthood next year. Joshua is currently a third year theology student at Mundelein Seminary and is a
classmate of Tyler Raymond who is a native of our parish. Hailing from St. Joseph, Key West, IA,
located just outside of Dubuque, Joshua is a graduate of Loras College. I look forward to us welcoming
him to the parish and ministry in our midst this summer.
Archdiocesan Priest Assignments—are scheduled to be formally announced in the April 15 edition
of The Witness. The Archbishop has renewed my assignment here as pastor of St. Joseph. All
reassignments will not appear in The Witness, only new ones.
