Year of Mercy
Bible Verses to Know:
Here are a few essential Bible verses that all Catholics should
learn to help in explaining and defending their Faith.
The Divine Mercy devotion consists of celebrating the Feast of
Divine Mercy Sunday, venerating the Divine Mercy Image,
praying the Divine Mercy Novena and Chaplet, and honoring
the Hour of mercy (3:00 pm). These can be remembered by
the acronym FINCH. Here are the promises Jesus told
St. Faustina about each:
Learn one verse in each category — and keep this list
handy; you will need it!
The Catholic Church compiled the Bible and has faithfully
preserved it for 2,000 years. We hear several Bible readings
every time we attend Mass. As Catholics, we seek to study the
entire Word of God, in context, and seek the correct
interpretation through the help God has provided for us in our
Pope and Bishops — the Magisterium or teaching authority, of
Jesus’ One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
(Scripture quotations from New American Bible)
Feast: On this day the very depths of My tender mercy are
open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who
approach the fount of My mercy...The soul that will go to
Confession and receive Holy Communion (in a state of grace
on this day) shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and
punishment.
GOD MADE YOU – & HE KNOWS YOU
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you
were born I consecrated you.” -Jeremiah 1:5
Image: By means of this image, I shall be granting many
graces to souls; so let every soul have access to it…I promise
that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish…I
also promise victory over its enemies already here on earth,
especially at the hour of death. I myself will defend it as My
own glory.
“You have been my guide since I was first formed, my security
at my mother’s breast. To you I was committed at birth, From
my mother’s womb you are my God.” – Psalm 22:10-11
BAPTISM : Becoming a child of God is for all -including
infants & children
Novena: By this Novena I will grant every possible grace to
souls...strength and refreshment and whatever grace they have
need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of
death.
(Jesus speaking to the Apostles)
“Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit.” – Matthew 28:19
Chaplet: The souls that say this chaplet will be embraced by
My mercy during their lifetime and especially at the hour of
their death…Through this chaplet you will obtain everything, if
what you ask for is compatible with My will.
“… then he and his whole household were baptized.”
-Acts 16:33
http://valleycatholicradio.org/bible-verses-to-know/
Hour: 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....I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of
Me in virtue of My Passion.
Lighthouse CD Spotlight
Confirmation: The Sacrament of
Evangelization and Martyrdom
Today there is oftentimes a misconception of what the
Sacrament of Confirmation is actually for or how it affects our
lives. In this talk, Dr. Brant Pitre invites us to better
understand the tremendous graces and calling received through
this sacrament. He points to various passages in scripture
which provide a historical foundation and, through bold
witness, challenges us to willingly surrender our lives to
Christ. Dr. Brant Pitre is a
professor of Sacred
Scripture at Notre Dame
Seminary in New Orleans,
LA.
Pope Quote:
"Jesus affirms that mercy is not only an action of
the Father, it becomes a criterion for ascertaining
who his true children are. In short, we are called
to show mercy because mercy has first been
shown to us."
— Pope Francis

offer a quality, safe, inclusive, and affordable summer experience for our
students and parish families. Our goal is to provide lasting memories,
imaginative play, and allow our campers to develop to their full potential.

The Summer Camp 2016 will be offered to students currently registered
for the 2016 – 2017 school year that will be attending our three year old
preschool through fifth grade. We will also accept students who were in three-year old preschool through fourth grade during the
2015 – 2016 school year. Children of registered parishioners are also welcome to attend provided they are the correct age
requirements (children entering three-year old preschool through fifth grade for the 2016-2017 school year).
We offer full-time camp (from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.), regular camp (from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) and part-time camp. Summer
Camp will begin on Monday, June 6, 2016 and continue throughout the summer until Friday, August 12, 2016. Space is limited and
will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Students must be completely toilet trained to enter the camp program. Campers will be
grouped according to age.
Camp days chosen are on a permanent basis, and for staffing and purchasing reasons cannot be changed from week to week or
month to month. However, camp days can be added based on space availability and camp attendance can be different
each week.

moralidad para el cristiano. A este respecto escribe San Agustín:
“¡Lejos de nosotros afirmar que faltan ahora buenos pastores;
lejos de nosotros el que falten, lejos de su misericordia el que no
los haga nacer y otorgue! En efecto, si hay ovejas buenas, hay
también pastores buenos, pues de las buenas ovejas salen buenos
pastores. Pero todos los buenos pastores están en uno, son una
sola cosa. Apacientan ellos: es Cristo quien apacienta. Los

2.- “Oler a oveja” El pastor y las ovejas es una imagen clásica en
la literatura bíblica. Muchos profetas se sirvieron de ella cuando
quisieron hablar de las relaciones entre Dios y su Pueblo. Es una
imagen cotidiana en una economía agrícola y ganadera. Las
ovejas representan a los seguidores de Jesús, el Buen Pastor, que
da su vida por ellas. El Papa Francisco nos ha dicho que los
“pastores tienen que oler a oveja”, es decir tienen que estar en
medio del pueblo, compartir sus sufrimientos y sus gozos. El
auténtico pastor “conoce a sus ovejas” y les da vida.

Jubilee Year of Mercy Holy Hour
Third Tuesday of Every Month – 7 PM
April 19, 2016
Communication from the Bishop
Annual Catholic Home Missions Appeal
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
The Church has great needs around the world, and
unfortunately our nation is no exception. Many dioceses here at
home face challenges due to priest shortages, remote
geography, or due to the fact that their parishes are in
impoverished communities. The Catholic Home Missions
Appeal answers these needs by providing grants to these
dioceses.
Forty-two percent of all dioceses in the United States
receive Catholic Home Missions support for evangelization,
catechesis, ministry formation, and other areas of faith
development. Your support of this collection will help your
neighbors here in the United States and strengthen the Church
at home.
As we celebrate this
Jubilee Year of Mercy,
come experience the
mercy of God during an
hour of prayer at
Immaculate
Conception Church,
Pilgrimage Church of
Eastern DuPage
County, held on the
third Tuesday of every month of our jubilee year. In the
month of April, we will be praying in honor of Divine
Mercy.
Obtaining a Plenary Indulgence during the Year of Mercy
A plenary indulgence frees a person from all of the temporal
punishment due to sins and may be gained only once on any
one day. Indulgences are only applicable to oneself and to
the dead.
How can I obtain a plenary indulgence during the Holy
Year of Mercy?
By receiving Holy Communion, making a profession of faith
(saying the Creed), praying for the Holy Father, Pope Francis,
and for the intentions that he bears in his heart for the good of
the Church and of the entire world, while doing any of the
following:
In 2015, the bishops’ Subcommittee on Catholic Home
Missions provided grant money as nearby as the Diocese of
Belleville in Illinois and the Diocese of Kalamazoo in
Michigan, supporting their outreach to migrant communities
and to provide ministry to those who live and work in remote
and rural areas. The Diocese of Jackson in Mississippi has
some of the highest numbers of families living in poverty, so
grants from the Catholic Home Missions Appeal make it
possible for the Diocese of Jackson to pay for the education of
their 10 seminarians, among other things.
 Visiting a Pilgrimage Church while having the intention
to obtain the indulgence
 Going to confession (before or after the visit)
 Personally performing one or more of the Spiritual and
Corporal Works of Mercy.
 Praying for the dead at Mass that they be freed from sin
and be embraced by God in eternal life.
 The sick and people who are elderly and alone may
obtain the Indulgence by receiving Communion or
attending Mass and community prayer (even on TV, the
Internet or radio)
Mission dioceses often struggle with isolation and a lack
of educated pastoral and lay leadership. With your support, the
Catholic Home Missions Appeal can continue to provide
catechesis, lay leadership training, funding for seminarian
education, and other essential pastoral outreach in our home
mission dioceses.
On the weekend of April 23-24, please be generous in
the Catholic Home Missions Appeal and help strengthen
the Church at home. Your support will truly make a
difference.
Thank you, and God bless you.
Most Reverend R. Daniel Conlon
Bishop of Joliet
