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!
