Divine Mercy Image
We have an image of the Divine Mercy near our reconciliation room. The image is also on the front of this week’s bulletin. God’s mercy and forgiveness is greater and more powerful than any of our sins.
—“I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You“
—“These two rays issued forth from the depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him“

Thank you to the decorating committee. Also included is the washing of the feet (John 13:1-17), Liturgy of the Eucharist, Eucharistic procession to the tabernacle, private adoration, and evening prayer. Cardinal Tobin stopped by for private prayer just prior to evening prayer.

Good Friday began with morning prayer with a reflection by Tom Rossano (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko_X-Prrxto) and had the Passion of Our Lord at 3:00 PM.
Holy Saturday
The Eucharist is held in a special tabernacle in the sacristy from Holy Thursday after night prayer until the end of the Easter Vigil.

And finally, the Great Easter Vigil, lighting the Easter Candle and that light spreading through the church.

Mission Statement
The Roman Catholic Community of Saint Valentine is called to be a visible sign of God's presence in the world. Through celebration of the sacraments, especially through reconciliation and the Eucharist, we are sent out to proclaim and witness to the Gospel by our lives.
We are therefore dedicated to serving others within our church, local communities and throughout the world. By loving God, neighbor and self we deepen our response to the Lord and to announce the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ.
