Welcomes You

St. Jadwiga Parish welcomes you. 

DIVINE MERCY 
At three o'clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of
My Passion (St. Faustina Diary, 1320).

Jesus, I trust in you!          Jezu, ufam Tobie!       Jesús, en Ti confío!

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION  +  DECEMBER 9
The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is usually a Holy Day of Obligation but is not in 2019. The USCCB explains, “Since December 8, 2019, is the Second Sunday of Advent, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is transferred to Monday, December 9, 2019. The obligation to attend Mass, however, does not transfer.” So, even though the Immaculate Conception is NOT a holy day of obligation this year, we welcome you to attend Mass at 6:30 p.m. in the Chapel on December 9th.
