St. John the Evangelist Parish in Lambertville, NJ invites you to join us March 23-25 2019 for our Lenten Mission focused on the Divine Mercy.  Joining us are Sr. Donata and Sr. Veritas from the congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, Washington DC.

Reflections during Mass on Saturday and Sunday will focus on the "Divine Mercy – the message for today." Mass times are Saturday, March 23 5:00pm and Sunday March 24 8:00am, 9:30 am and 11:00am.  

On Sunday March 24, there will be an Adoration beginning 3pm followed by the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

On Monday, March 25, at 6:30pm Sr. Donata will discuss the "Sacrament of Reconciliation – the way to peace of heart."  Confessions will immediately follow.  There will be additional Priests available to hear confessions.

The Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy was founded in 1862 by mother Teresa Potocka in Poland. The charism of the Congregation was first directed to girls and women in need of moral renewal.

In 1925, Helen Kowalska, who would later be known as St. Faustina, joined this religious family. It was to her that Our Lord revealed the message of Divine Mercy, and entrusted her with the mission of reminding and proclaiming this truth to the whole world.

Now the Sisters carry out this task through their prayer, word and deed of mercy.

Sr. M. Donata Farbaniec – born in Poland. Joined the Congregation in 1995. She is a perpetually professed sister. She used to work for a few years as a member of a formation team, accompanying the candidates on the first stage of their religious life. In 2010-2013 she was assigned to the community in Boston, Massachusetts. Afterwards she worked in one of the retreat houses of the Congregation and in 2016 she began a ministry of propagation of the message of Divine Mercy in John Paul II National Shrine in Washington DC.

Sr. Veritas, a young American Sister, just made her first Religious Vows and will accompany Sr. Donata.
