Respect Life Event

The generosity of the Holy Family community made it possible to resume the “Baby Diapers and Baby Items Fundraising” event to benefit Respect Life Center in Santa Ana. Holy Family parish Respect Life Coordinator Jeanette Barreras was thrilled to bring baby items to the families in need.

Even though the 40 Days for Life Campaign has ended, Jeannette brings baby items to the center throughout the year.

Divine Mercy Sunday

Divine Mercy Sunday is a day on which the Lord promised that the floodgates of his mercy would be opened to sinners. The Vatican decreed on May 5, 2000–five days following the canonization of Saint Faustina–that Divine Mercy Sunday would be celebrated each year on the second Sunday of Easter.

The devotion to Divine Mercy and the institution of Divine Mercy Sunday is based on the writings of Polish nun Saint Faustina Kowalska in the “Diary of Saint Faustina,” which is based on her private revelations about God’s mercy.
