Pope John Paul II declared the first Sunday after Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday. This is a great opportunity for us to pray together for the remission of sins. This wonderful devotion was revealed and given to St. Sister Faustina - as many call her - first in the form of an image and then the chaplet devotion itself was dictated to her by our Lord, Jesus, in one of His many visions to the young mystic.
As a family, we usually try to observe Divine Mercy Sunday in our parish where we pray the divine mercy chaplet as a community and we venerate the relic we are so fortunate to have of this wonderful saint who knew and loved our Lord so intimately.
Although the kiddos are a bit familiar with St. Faustina and the Divine Mercy Chaplet, which is prayed regularly in our parish, we wanted to do a bit more research on this saint who felt her first call to religious life at age seven. To help our children explore more about St. Faustina we have created some printable resources including the printable saint trading card (featured above), new saint biography trading cards, notebooking sheets, and more. You can find all of our resources for this saint conveniently located on one page plus you will find the directions on how to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet there as well. 
We hope you find these resources useful in some way.
Blessings,
That Resource Team
