Please note this Entry is very incomplete. I was hoping to have more locations up by 2 pm Thursday(today) which was my goal. I intend to have severa more locations listed at the very least in each of the Seven Louisiana Dioceses where one can go and participate in Special Divine Mercy Sunday Devotions. I shall to continue to update with more Parishes and more info till Saturday morning so you might wish to book mark. If your Parish is not included leave it in the comments and I shall add. I shall also be providing links and info as to this Devotion as well as the great Graces and benefits that the Lord is giving through to those that participate this Sunday in His feast of Mercy.
What is is the Divine Mercy? John Paul the II and the Divine Mercy- Here are John Paul the II Encyclical ,Homilies and Quotes on the Divine Mercy. Divine Mercy Q&A What is this Divine Mercy Chaplet The Image of the Divine Mercy Understanding Divine Mercy Sunday( a great 45 page PDF file)
Please note I have tried to list if Confession is available as to each the Divine Mercy Sunday Devotion and Service in each Parish. However if it is not and you wish to receive the Plenary Indulgence (Offical Church Decree located here) you can still go to Confession at any time up to Divine Mercy Sunday. See the bottom parapraph of the EWTN piece on the Divine Mercy itself another great Resource. Consult your priest but it appears that Confession a few days after will suffice. Oh if you are visiting and wondering about all this Indulgence stuff go here. For those ill or that can't go to Church that day also go here to see what to do. Oh and what is the relation between the Promise and the Indulgence. Go here to The Indulgence versus The Promise
