THE FEAST OF DIVING MERCY

IS THE GREATEST PROMISE FOR ALL SINNERS

April 16, 2023

The gift of complete cleansing of the soul is promised on this day. Jesus gave St. Faustiana a novena to the Divine Mercy which He instructed
her to make before the Feast of Mercy. It begins on Good Friday. A novena of Chaplets should be said in preparation for the Feast of Mercy. Novena pamphlets are available in the narthax of the church and in the vestibule of the chapel.

Stephen Ministers bring distinctively
Christian care to those in need. They
use both words and deeds to express
Christ’s care for others—listening and
comforting, calling on the training they
have received and employing the tools
of faith. If this job description fits your
personal goals for ministry, consider
becoming a Stephen Minister. For more
information, contact Marji Monte Carlo
at avonbymarji@hotmail.com

Do It All In
Jesus’ Name!

FOOD DRIVE COMING SOON!

As the summer months approach food stores such as Fry's, Safeway, and Walmart will cut back on their food inventories, which in turn reduces their food donations to the Foothills Food Bank, in Cave Creek. To offset this, Annunciation School, SVdP, and the KofC will combine efforts and conduct a food drive from April 29th thru May 7th. The purpose is to replenish those lowering food levels, which in turn are allocated for "those in need.

Please watch for more detail information as the event draws nearer.

Do you have questions about your Catholic funeral?

Reflecting on our own mortality is a topic that most of us wish to avoid. But as part of our Catholic faith, we understand that when we pass from this life, it is not the end, but rather the beginning of a life spent in Heaven with God.

By preplanning your Catholic funeral, you can save your loved ones emotional and financial stress at the time of your death. If you have any questions about what options are available to you or what the Church teachings are, we invite you to visit with our knowledgable counselors on April 22 and 23 immediately following each of our Sunday Masses in the St. Gabriel Social Hall.
