St. Faustina Catholic Church To create awareness about our fundraising events for our construction fund to build a permanent church and about the Divine Mercy devotion. We are the FIRST St.

Faustina Catholic Parish in the United States. St. Faustina is the first female Polish saint and the first saint of the 21st century to be canonized by Blessed Pope John Paul II. Faustina Catholic Church started out in a hotel in 2006 and moved to a small rental building later that same year which we quickly outgrew. Christmas 2010, we moved to a larger rental facility where masses are now said and parish business conducted. We are in the process of fundraising to construct a permanent church building on Hwy 27 in Lake County, a short distance from our present location. We also are devoted to the call of St. Faustina to be a beacon of God's Divine Mercy.

🇵🇱✝️ Polish actress Maria Kowalska has officially been cast to portray Saint Faustina Kowalska, the beloved Apostle of Divine Mercy, in an upcoming Catholic film scheduled for release in 2027.

The film, titled "Between Silence and a Whisper" (Między Ciszą a Szeptem), is a Polish-American production directed by Michał Kondrat, known for his previous Catholic film "Love and Mercy: Faustina."

Filming officially began on September 30, 2026, in Poland.

Maria Kowalska, known for her performance in Netflix's "Forgotten Love" (2023), will take on the challenging role of portraying one of the Catholic Church's most influential modern saints.

The story will follow the life of Helena Kowalska, a humble young Polish woman who entered religious life in 1925 and eventually became known throughout the world as Saint Faustina.

Within the convent, Faustina performed ordinary duties, including cooking, gardening, and working as a porter. Yet behind the monastery walls, she experienced extraordinary mystical encounters with Our Lord Jesus Christ.

According to her famous Diary, Jesus entrusted her with a special mission: to spread the message of His infinite Divine Mercy and encourage souls to place their trust in Him.

The film will also explore the difficulties she endured, including misunderstandings, loneliness, illness, and the spiritual challenges of her religious vocation.

Hollywood actor Neal McDonough will portray Blessed Father Michał Sopoćko, the Catholic priest who served as Saint Faustina's confessor and spiritual director.

The production is being developed in consultation with the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, to which Saint Faustina belonged.

Saint Faustina died on October 5, 1938, at just 33 years old. She was canonized by Pope Saint John Paul II on April 30, 2000.

Today, millions of Catholics around the world practice the Divine Mercy devotion, inspired by the revelations recorded in her Diary.

Nearly a century after her death, her extraordinary life and mission will once again be brought to the big screen.

Jesus, I trust in You! ❤️✝️

Saint Faustina Kowalska, pray for us!

Jesus told St. Faustina: “Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you… It pleases Me very much when it is said for the dying. They will receive the grace of My mercy in the final hour. Even the most hardened sinner, if he recites this Chaplet even once, will receive grace from My infinite mercy.” (Diary 687)

At the hour of death, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy becomes a great shield of protection. Jesus promised that souls for whom this Chaplet is prayed will be granted His mercy — often receiving the grace of a happy and peaceful death, even when they seem farthest from God.

This is why praying the Chaplet for the dying is one of the most merciful acts we can offer. Whether for a loved one, for someone we don’t know, or for all the souls leaving this world today, our prayers can open the floodgates of God’s compassion.

Let us not miss this beautiful opportunity to bring souls to Jesus’ Merciful Heart.
🙏 Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy today for the dying.

“By this means, you will comfort Me in the bitterness of My Passion.” — Jesus

Daily reflections from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska

Lift Us up

Meditation:
I see your love, so pure and true that I give you first place among the virgins. You are the honor and glory of My Passion. I see every abasement of your soul, and nothing escapes my attention. I lift up the humble even to My very throne, because I want it so (Diary, 282).

My Prayer Response:
Lord Jesus, through the intercession of St. Faustina, help us to humble ourselves in our sufferings and lift us up to Your throne. Let us see Your glory, Lord, even in the midst of our sufferings.

Today's Meditation
"Before processing a situation, let your nerves and the effervescence of your imagination calm down. Recollect yourself: a few days of patience. You will see, thus, by some distance and peace, all things will take back their proper proportions. During the period of agitation, guard against arguing, deciding, and acting. Emotion troubles the reason; passion misleads judgment; self-love renders the situation unjust toward ourselves."
—An Anonymous Carthusian Monk

Quote of the Day
“Let all creation help you to praise God. Give yourself the rest you need. When you are walking alone, listen to the sermon preached to you by the flowers, the trees, the shrubs, the sky, the sun and the whole world. Notice how they preach to you a sermon full of love, of praise of God, and how they invite you to proclaim the greatness of the one who has given them being.” —St. Paul of the Cross

Saint of the Day

St. Narcissus

Patron Saint of: The elderly, vineyards, and against insect bites

St. Narcissus (c. 99 – c. 216 A.D.) was a holy and esteemed priest of Greek origin who became the 30th bishop of Jerusalem in the year 180 A.D., about a century after the city's destruction by the Romans. He was known as a miracle-worker, as well as for governing his diocese with vigor and discipline despite being in his 80th year when he was made bishop. Of his many miracles, the one for which he is most famous was turning water into oil on Holy Saturday, as recorded by the historian Eusebius: when the deacons had no oil to burn in the altar lamps for the Easter liturgy, St. Narcissus had them use water instead. After he prayed over the water and it was put into the lamps, it was miraculously converted into oil. In 195 A.D. St. Narcissus was part of a council of bishops who settled the date for the observance of Easter, deciding on Sunday and not the ancient Jewish Passover. Despite his reputation as a holy bishop, St. Narcissus drew opposition. Three enemies accused him of a serious crime and prayed that he might be cursed by God in punishment. This took a toll on the saint, and, forgiving his persecutors, he retired from public life and lived as a hermit for many years. His enemies meanwhile were struck by the calamities that they wished upon him. When St. Narcissus eventually returned to Jerusalem he was exuberantly welcomed by the faithful. He served the people of Jerusalem in many ways until his death at over 116 years old. His feast day is October 29th.

Daily reflections from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska

Great Pain for Sin

Meditation:
My Heart was moved by great mercy towards you, My dearest child, when I saw you torn to shreds because of the great pain you suffered in repenting for your sins (Diary, 282).

My Prayer Response:
Lord Jesus, You promised to St. Faustina that the sinner has the greatest right to Your mercy (see Diary, 723, 1146, 1275). Have mercy, Lord, on all who strive to repent and reform.

Today's Meditation
“He does not come down from Heaven each day to stay in the gold ciborium. He comes down to find another Heaven He cherishes infinitely more than the first, the Heaven of our souls, made in His image, living temples of the Most Blessed Trinity!”
