St. Columba Church Weekly Mass Schedule
SAN DIEGO
Year of Mercy
The Sunday after Easter is universally observed throughout the Church as Divine Mercy Sunday. St. Pope John
Paul II established the Feast of Divine Mercy Sunday
during the canonization of St. Faustina in the Jubilee
Year 2000. Our Lords great promise: The soul that will
go to Confession and then receive Holy Communion
shall obtain the complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. We want to encourage everyone to take advantage of this incredible promise on this Great Feast of
Mercy.
The Corporal Works of Mercy are found in the teachings of Jesus and give us a model for how we should treat
all others, as if they were Christ in disguise. They "are
charitable actions by which we help our neighbors in their
bodily needs" (U.S. Catholic Catechism for Adults). They
respond to the basic needs of humanity as we journey
together through this life.
Visit the Imprisoned
People in prison are still people, made in the image and
likeness of God. No matter what someone has done, they
deserve the opportunity to hear the Word of God and find
the Truth of the message of Christ.
The Diocese of San Diego Office for Social Ministry has
a restorative justice ministry. For more information or to
get involved, visit the web site:

Volunteer to help out or donate to charities that give
