Divine Mercy Sunday
At St Alban-on-the-Moor, Splott
Sunday 12 April 2026 marks the beautiful Feast of Divine Mercy Sunday, and our parish community at St Alban‑on‑the‑Moors, Swinton Street, Splott, Cardiff (CF24 2NT), is warmly invited to come together for this special celebration of God’s boundless mercy.
The afternoon offers a precious opportunity for prayer, reflection, and encountering Christ’s forgiveness.
Confessions will be available from 2pm–4pm (please note that there will be no Mass on this day).
At 2.30pm, we will gather for the Blessing and Veneration of the Divine Mercy Image, a moment that invites us to place our trust deeply in Jesus, the “fount of mercy.”
At 3pm, the Hour of Great Mercy, we will pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Three O’Clock Prayer—a powerful devotion Jesus himself encouraged, reminding us of the love poured out for us at the moment of His Passion.
How to Prepare Your Heart for the Feast
The Church offers us simple but meaningful ways to enter fully into Divine Mercy Sunday:
- Celebrate the Feast on the Sunday after Easter
- Repent sincerely of all sins
- Place complete trust in Jesus
- Go to Confession before or on Divine Mercy Sunday
- Receive Holy Communion on the day of the Feast
- Venerate the Divine Mercy Image
- Show mercy to others through actions, words, and prayers
These steps help us open our hearts to the graces Jesus promised to those who seek His mercy with faith.
Whether you are familiar with the devotion or discovering it for the first time, you are warmly encouraged to join us for this beautiful celebration. Divine Mercy Sunday reminds us that no one is beyond the reach of Christ’s love.
We look forward to welcoming you.
Jesus, I trust in You!
