From Msgr. George Ryan, Pastor

Dear Parishioners,

Father Dara who has been assisting us during the summer will be returning to Rome next week to continue his doctoral studies. Once again let me thank him for his priestly ministry, his fellowship with the priests and his presence to our parishioners especially those who are homebound. We wish him well and hope that he will visit us in the future. Father Dara has a priest friend from his Diocese in India who is presently studying communications on the West Coast. He has produced a film on St. Faustina entitled “The Last appeal.” Fr. Dara thought some might be interested in purchasing it.
 
Faustina— The Apostle of Divine Mercy Written, Directed and Produced by: Fr. Bala Udumala, M.F.A.
 
It is a 35 minute short film that portrays the story of a peasant girl, Helen whom Jesus has chosen to bring the message of His mercy to mankind in preparation for the Last Day-The Day of Judgment. The drama unfolds through the revelations and visions of God to Helen Kowalska. The story of Helen brings vividly to light the struggles she went through in the process of delivering the message through the humble life of a nun in a convent in Poland at the beginning of the 20th Century.
 
Andrea Syglowski, a young artist of Polish origin has brought Sr. Faustina Kowalska to life again on screen with her astounding performance. Caitlin Moreland plays the role of Sr. Mary to everyone’s delight with her honest, down to earth and impeccable character.
 
“The Last Appeal” is a compelling message of Divine Mercy for out time that has already touched millions of souls and continues to do so in the Third Millennium bringing hope and spreading love to many. The great legendary of our times, Pope John Paul II has canonized her as the Saint of the New Millennium on April 30, 2000.
