Last week was the kick-off for 40 Days For Life! The 6am sunrise Mass took place at Epiphany Church and was celebrated by Fr. Chris Donley along with Fr. Joe Freedy, Fr. Thomas More Sikora, Fr. John Sweeney, Fr. Jay Donahue, Fr. Jason Charron and Fr. Rudy, with nearly 200 in attendance. The Mass was followed by a Eucharistic procession to the Planned Parenthood located on Liberty Ave. Participants prayed the Glorious Mystery of the Rosary and with the Holy Eucharist, Fr. Chris blessed everyone who has been or will be in the Planned Parenthood as well as all those who were present. This was the start of the prayer vigil that will take place over the next 40 days.

Dear Divine Mercy Parish Family in Christ, This past weekend I was honored to be able to offer my little niece Lizzy her first holy communion! Another niece, Gabriella, received her first holy communion earlier this summer from me. I wanted to share the good graces with you today. God is good and continues to work His miracles in our midst in these most challenging of days. Count on my prayers for you, that each time you receive communion, it will be like your first, your last, your only time. May God bless you. Fr. Chris
