The Divine Mercy Retreat
The Divine Mercy Retreat at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament
All are invited to The Divine Mercy Retreat given by Father John Paul Mary, MFVA, on the weekend of July 8-10th, at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama. Father John Paul Mary is a priest of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word (MFVA). The MFVA’s are a religious community of men, founded by the late Mother Angelica in 1987 to preach and teach the Catholic Faith through modern means of social communication, television, radio, internet and printed word, as well as leading retreats and attending to the spiritual and sacramental needs of the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration. Father John Paul Mary was ordained to the Sacred Priesthood of Jesus Christ by His Excellency Robert J. Baker on June 22, 2013 in the Cathedral of St. Paul in the Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama. His current assignment is at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama as the Assistant Chaplain.
On Ash Wednesday, February 10, 2016, Father John Paul Mary was commissioned by His Holiness Pope Francis, a Missionary of Mercy during the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy. He received a special mandate to preach and to teach about the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation, Forgiveness, the Mercy of God and in Pope Francis own words- "the closeness of God."
This weekend retreat, The Divine Mercy-The Closeness of God, will include spiritual talks, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrament of Penance, and Eucharistic adoration. Also, experience God's Mercy by walking through the Shrine's Holy Door of Mercy. This is a free retreat and no registration is required. Please bring your own lunch, as lunch will not be provided. *Full Weekend Retreat schedule coming soon*
