Schedule for the Novena for the Divine Mercy
The Sacrament of Reconciliation will also be offered during the days of the Novena. While confession does not need to occur during the Novena itself, confession should be made before Divine Mercy Sunday.
- Tuesday, April 7: 7:00 PM
- Wednesday, April 8: 7:00 PM
- Thursday, April 9: 7:00 PM
- Friday, April 10: 7:00 PM
The Lord said, "I desire the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those sous who approach the fount of My mercy."
Those who go to Confession during the 9 days of the Novena and receive Holy Communion on Divine Mercy Sunday (April 12) shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. This promise is beyond that of a plenary indulgence, which remits temporal punishment but does not include remission of the sin.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be available at
St. Margaret Mary's Church
80 Hayes Road
South Windsor, CT 06074
