Divine Mercy Ministry

 To fully embrace the Year of Mercy, St. Peter Parish will be starting a new ministry opportunity:  "Disciples of Divine Mercy  in the Holy Face of Jesus".  The ministry mission and spirituality is stated as follows:
 
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
 
 
The Disciples of Divine Mercy in the Holy Face of Jesus™ is a ministry founded on the message of Divine Mercy contained in Holy Scripture and revealed to St. Faustina Kowalska. Our members strive to live this message by trusting in Jesus and showing mercy to others. In the Holy Face of Jesus, we see His unfathomable love and mercy for us.
 
Our mission is to reach out to others by word, deed, and prayer as we encourage them to trust in God’s merciful love. We pray at the bedsides of the sick and the dying, for the Holy Souls in purgatory, and for fragmented souls — those whose lives have led them down many paths, away from God’s plan for their happiness.
 
We also focus on spreading the message of Divine Mercy and growth in holiness through seminars, conferences, and retreats. We strive to do all through the virtues of humility and obedience, offering everything for the greater glory of God and the salvation of souls.
 
 
 
OUR SPIRITUALITY
 
The spirituality of the Disciples of Divine Mercy in the Holy Face of Jesus is to see the Face of Christ in the sick, the dying, and suffering souls, and for them to see the Face of Christ in us. This mutual contemplation of the Face of Christ is what this ministry means to us. It is the presence of the suffering Jesus, the Paschal Mystery, who is present with us as we minister to those most in need of God’s mercy, especially at the hour of their death.
 
Members are encouraged to meditate on the Passion of Christ so that the love and mercy Jesus demonstrated by His suffering, death, and Resurrection will be evident in all our actions. Through our deeds, words, and prayers, we are to be a reflection of Christ’s merciful love through the guidance of Our Lady.
