CHARLOTTE — Members of St. Matthew Parish gathered for their 14th annual Divine Mercy Day of Healing on Oct. 5, the feast day of St. Faustina.
The day included Mass and recitation of the Divine Mercy Chaplet, veneration of St. Faustina’s relic, and a talk by guest speaker Father Rodolph Wakim, who presented this year’s theme: “Embracing Divine Mercy: Unveiling the Seven Secrets of Divine Mercy.”
This enriching seminar was designed to deepen understanding of God’s infinite mercy and foster a communal atmosphere for prayer, reflection and spiritual renewal.
