So is anyone doing anything to celebrate the beatification of John Paul II?
 
Aside from going to Mass at my parish I am also going to another local parish at 2 PM where they will be having a special Mass celebrating Divine Mercy Sunday and soon-to-be Blessed Pope John Paul II’s beatification.

I was a little surprised and saddened that in my parish I’ve heard nothing mentioned nor anything written in the weekly bulletins about taking any time to specially recognize Pope John Paul II. And even more upsetting, when I asked my priest if the parish would be doing anything to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday he said, “That’s that Polish thing right? No, we won’t be doing anything for that at this parish.” At my previous parish before moving they celebrated Divine Mercy Sunday every year since 2000 so this was quite a shock to me. Fortunately the local parish I will be going to in order to celebrate JPII’s beatification is the “Polish parish” (as my priest put it) and so there at least there will be much celebrating. 🙂

At my campus there is a party in one of the dorms, as well as another party off campus complete with polish food and praise and worship
 
Well, I’ll be celebrating coming into the Church! I will be confirmed and have first Holy Communion on Sunday after making a profession of faith.

I’ll also try to go to the afternoon service (maybe a Mass?, I’ll have to check) my church is having for the day.
 
I regret I will be working all weekend, but I will be joining in the celebration in spirit in honoring this great man.
 
On that wonderful day in my parish we will say the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3pm followed by a 3:30pm mass and following that will be a little celebration for the Beatification of Pope John Paul II. And my parish is “Polish” so we are doing “that Polish thing” which for this Puerto Rican is a “good thing”. 😉

God bless 😃
 
I believe that they’ll telecast it live on local TV in my country, the Philippines. Pope John Paul the 2nd was loved by many Filipinos 🙂
I’m gonna celebrate by attending the feast of the Divine Mercy the first time. I’m having a devotion to the Divine Mercy and I’ve been praying the novena and the chaplet everyday since Good Friday.

I was listening one emission on radio about John Paul II,and one journalist has told that he was angry when he saw that priest are overweight. Why do not you do sport?
