“Behold, I do new things”: Recollection on 4th February 2023

Join us for our first recollection in 2023 at Sts. John and Sylvia Our Lady of Divine Mercy Shrine from 9am-12pm. Our beloved, Deacon Lawson will facilitate the recollection themed “Behold, I do new things” taken from the book of Isaiah 43:18-19.

18 the Lord says, “Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago.

19 Watch for the new thing I am going to do.   It is happening already—you can see it now!
I will make a road through the wilderness  and give you streams of water there.

Please come and remember to bring your family and friends as you experience the joy of the Lord during this special recollection.
