Eucharistic Apostles of The Divine Mercy, St. Pius X Cenacle
The Eucharistic Apostles of The Divine Mercy (aka Divine Mercy), is a lay outreach ministry. Based on The Divine Mercy message imparted to St. Faustina, each cenacle or small faith based Christian Community grows deeper in faith and spirituality through the study of Sacred Scripture, Catechism of the Catholic Church, Diary of St. Faustina, song, prayer, faith sharing, fellowship and service. Our mission is to evangelize the truth of God’s Divine Mercy, the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, encourage Eucharistic Adoration, and, maintain and foster our sister organization, St. Pius X Respect Life. Under the patronage of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we realize the gift and beauty of all human life. Divine Mercy is a way of life, lived out through performing the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. Saint Pope John Paul II on October, 15, 1998 imparted a special Apostolic Blessing to all members.
