The Divine Mercy Chaplet is prayed Sunday through Friday at 3:00 pm in the Chapel

When Jesus died on Good Friday, Scripture set the time of his death as the Ninth Hour or 3:00 pm. This is considered the Hour of Great Mercy, thus this is the time acknowledged to Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

History of the Divine Mercy Chaplet
In the early 1930's, a young nun from Poland, Sr. Faustina Kowalksi, dutifully kept a diary now titled Divine Mercy in My Soul. In it she recorded messages she received from Christ through numerous visions, locutions, and revelations between 1931 and her death in 1938. From this beginning the Devotion to Divine Mercy began.
During Jesus' revelations to Sr. Faustina on the Divine Mercy, he asked on numerous occasions that a feast Day be dedicated to the Divine Mercy and that this Feast be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. Pope John Paul II granted this when he canonized Sr. Faustina on April 30, 2000. Jesus also asked her to share the Divine Mercy Chaplet Prayers.

Deacon Rob Stout and his wife Donna Stout lead the Divine Mercy Chaplet in the Chapel (Old Church) at St. Mary of the Knobs.
