SAUK CITY — Divine Mercy Sunday was celebrated on April 11 at St. Aloysius Church in Sauk City and may be best portrayed by the results that followed.
Joyous families, couples, and individuals with uplifted hearts and bright smiles left Sauk City and drove back to their homes as far away as Milwaukee or Janesville with memories of an afternoon that had touched their souls and left them changed.
Hundreds of people poured into St. Aloysius Church to receive the benefits offered by Jesus on Divine Mercy Sunday.
Pope John Paul II declared in the Great Jubilee Year 2000 that the Sunday after Easter would from then on be known as Divine Mercy Sunday in reference to the many revelations received by St. Faustina. Jesus told St. Faustina in 1931 that the feast of Divine Mercy would be a very special day when “all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened.” Jesus promised that, “The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain the complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.”
