  • Divine Mercy Ministry

    Our Divine Mercy Ministry invites all parishioners of any age to join us in our commitment to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the gravely ill and dying among us. We are a team of 40 persons who strive to live the Mercy of Christ in our daily lives. We receive prayer requests which are then relayed by email or phone to our members who faithfully pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet daily.  Believing in all the promises made to Sr. Faustina from Jesus Himself, this powerful prayer many times is the last defense to save souls and this love and faith in Jesus can affect Eternity. Now, more than ever we unite with His heart and intention to bring all souls to His mercy.  We are also affiliated with the St. Francis Home in Shillington.  Some of our members volunteer a few hours weekly to support this wonderful caring hospice home. To learn more about becoming a prayer partner with us or volunteering at the St. Francis Home, please contact Paula Rhoads at 484 942 7670 or Diana Hospador at dvinemercy56@gmail,.com. Mercy matters! God bless you!
