Divine Mercy Sunday FINCH (Feast, Image, Novena, Chaplet, Hour)
(F) FEAST of Divine Mercy Pope John Paul II on April 30, 2000 declared that from now on throughout the Church the Second Sunday of Easter will also be called Divine Mercy Sunday.
(I) IMAGE In 1931, our Lord appeared to St. Faustina in a vision. She saw Jesus clothed in a white garment with His right hand raised in blessing. His left hand was touching His garment in the area of the Heart, from where two large rays came forth, one red & one pale.
(N) NOVENA A novena is typically nine days of prayer in preparation of a celebration of a feast day. During this holy time there will be the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, the Rosary, Music, and Adoration http://www.thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/novena.php
(H) HOUR of Great Mercy In His revelations to St. Faustina, Our Lord asked for a special prayer and meditation on His Passion each afternoon at the three o’clock hour, the hour that recalls His death on the cross.

APRIL 19 - THE CULTURE PROJECT Focus on Respect for Life
MAY 17 RAISING KIDS IN A TOXIC CULTURE: RELIGION AS A
PROTECTIVE FACTOR
Mariette Danilo, Ph.D.
Every day our children receive messages from advertisers, music, movies, television, adults and peers, to name just a few. Kids experience more stress and anxiety, and are at risk for more problem behaviors today than ever before. We can’t put our kids in a bubble, but what if we could “inoculate” them?
Psychologist and researcher, Dr. Mariette Danilo will discuss how we can help kids navigate a world where you are what you look like and what you can buy. The good news is that the research has identified Religion as a “protective factor” for kids. Join us as we cut through the hype and discuss the real sources of self-esteem, motivation, joy and optimism.
Mariette Danilo holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from Columbia University. As an academic, she taught graduate psychology courses in psychology and education. As a researcher in the Institute for Health Behavior Research at the Cornell University Medical College-New York Hospital Center, she has lectured extensively on Health Psychology and Adolescent Risk Behavior. Her research has focused on the cognitive, emotional, and psychosocial variables involved in the prediction and prevention of risk taking and health compromising behaviors in adolescents.
