Encouragement of all to practice works of mercy and charity, especially inviting inactive Catholics back to the practice of their faith. The spiritual and corporal works of mercy are:  feed the hungry; instruct the ignorant; give drink to the thirsty; pray for the living and the dead; shelter the homeless; comfort the sorrowful; visit the imprisoned; bear wrongs patiently; care for the sick; counsel the doubtful; bury the dead; admonish the sinner; clothe the naked; forgive offenses.

In addition, we will have an image of Divine Mercy in the sanctuary for this feast, and gather at St. Ann's at 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 24, to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
