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!

An Advent Prayer
Jesus, you are our hope. Remain with us! You who came from the Father, lead us to him in the Holy Spirit, along the path which you alone know and which you have revealed to us, that we might have life and have it in abundance. Be for us the door which leads us into the mystery of God. Amen.     _ —Pope Saint John Paul II
