Divine Mercy Novena starts Friday 4/18. Pray along with Father Shawn. (Recordings are from 2020) Visit queenofangelsfamily.com/divine-mercy Divine Mercy Novena The Divine Mercy Novena pamphlets are available at the Church entrances. The Novena begins on Good Friday, April 18th, 2025. Divine Mercy Indulgence Each year the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Divine Mercy Sunday as instituted by St. John Paul II. This Solemnity takes place on the Second Sunday of Easter (April 27, 2025). On this day the faithful can receive a plenary indulgence, which is much simpler than many think. Here are the requirements specific to Divine Mercy Sunday (from the Apostolic Penitentiary's Decree "Indulgences attached to the Devotions in Honour of Divine Mercy"): Be in a state of grace, Be detached from every affection for sin, including venial sins, Take part in prayers and devotions in honor of Divine Mercy in the presence of the Eucharist (exposed or in the tabernacle), Recite the Our Father and the Creed, And add a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus. Note two things there is no specific set of prayers beyond the requirement of an Our Father and Creed for the Holy Fathers intentions and that confession is not directly attached to the plenary indulgence for Divine Mercy. In fact, the Apostolic Penitentiary has decreed that provided one is in a state of grace for Holy Communion, sacramental confession can be received within twenty days either before or after Divine Mercy Sunday. That means that if you are in a state of grace on Divine Mercy Sunday and if you go to confession between April 7 and May 17 and fulfill the other requirements on Divine Mercy Sunday you can receive the full effects of the plenary indulgence. Jesus, I trust in You!

"An Urgent Message" Palm Sunday Year C April 13th, 2025 Father Shawn Landenwitch

The 8:00 AM Mass at St. Patrick is cancelled on Tuesday, April 8, due to a funeral. Eucharistic Adoration will begin at 1:00 PM.

Greetings Parishioners, When Beacons of Light began in 2022, we combined the St. Mary of the Woods and St. Patrick Parish Councils together into one council. We chose six representatives from each parish to serve on the council and to help guide our family through the transition period. The Champaign County churches also formed a council with representatives from each of their four churches. Now that we are through the initial transition time, our Logan County Parish Council is finalizing a new, more permanent, Code of Regulations. We will be implementing 3-year terms for members that will begin on July 1st. Terms will be staggered so that four council members will come to the end of their term each year. New members will be selected by the pastor and approved by a majority vote of the council. If you would like to recommend someone for consideration to serve on the Parish Council, please submit name(s) to me or to the Parish Office by the end of April. I am grateful for the feedback and guidance I receive from our Parish Council members, and I look forward to welcoming our new members this July! God bless, Father Shawn Landenwitch
