Here at St. Luke’s Parish we have two Divine Mercy Cenacle groups which meet on alternate Thursdays of each month. The first Cenacle began in 2018 and a second Cenacle was formed in 2021.
Guided by the Eucharistic Apostles of The Divine Mercy Cenacle Formation Manuals published by the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, Stockbridge, MA., we read sacred scripture, the Diary of St. Faustina, the Catechism, and pray the Chaplet* of the Divine Mercy.
The groups pray prayers of thanksgiving, gratitude, and petition at our Cenacle meetings. We are also called to promote God's mercy and to perform both Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy.
* Read more about the Chaplet here: Divine Mercy Chaplet.
