Father Pawel Komperda, associate pastor, holds a relic of St. Faustina as Vicki Dreger touches it with holy cards and pictures April 23. Father Arek Falana Arek Falana, pastor, recently brought the relic from Poland, where St. Faustina lived. The Lord appeared to St. Faustina throughout her life and asked her to promote devotion to his Divine Mercy. St. John Paul II canonized Faustina in 2000 and declared the second Sunday of Easter Divine Mercy Sunday.
