Mar. 31st-Apr. 7th SNYM News
Welcome to the St. Nick's Youth Ministry Weekly Update
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY, APR. 7
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy was given by the Lord in a vision to St. Faustina in 1935.
In her diary, she recorded these words from Jesus: “Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you (Diary of St. Faustina, 1541). Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death … Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this Chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy. I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in My mercy (Diary, 687).”
The Chaplet is prayed using rosary beads, with special prayers replacing the traditional prayers of the rosary. For example, “For the sake of his sorrowful passion…” replaces “Hail Mary” on the decade beads.
Use the graphic and the special prayers below to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy!

INFORMATION
YOUTH MINISTRY VOLUNTEERS
Per the Diocese policy for the safety of everyone, a minimum of 2 adults are required to be present for all Youth Ministry activities.
Ideally we would have at least 4-6 volunteers (preferably more), allowing for at least 1 assistant present for the HSYG one Sunday per month. We are also still in need of at least 1 more assistant for the EDGE class.
While the search to locate others who have current certification with the Diocese is ongoing, we have reached a point where we need to request that parents assist on a rotating basis so that we can continue to safely offer HSYG.
Please consider completing your certification, and/ or asking individuals who you think would be a willing volunteer. Or, you can submit suggestions for me to contact.
REQUIRED BY THE DIOCESE
All youth ministry volunteers must have current certification for the course of Serving Vulnerable Populations and a Criminal History Record Check on file with the Diocese. More information can be found by visiting Adult Training on the Diocese of Fairbanks website. Diocese of Fairbanks - Adult Training - Fairbanks, AK
