The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us – all of us. And, he wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy. The Divine Mercy message is one we can call to mind simply by remembering ABC: A - Ask for His Mercy. B - Be merciful. C - Completely trust in Jesus. -

A Message from Fr. Alex
Two years ago, the Diocese of Charlotte established St. Joseph College Seminary where, to date, we have 16 seminarians in formation, with 8 more set to begin studies in the fall of 2018. We plan to build a permanent home for the Seminary on 86 acres of land near Belmont Abbey, where the young men will obtain undergraduate degrees. So far $4.7million has been given, with approximately $15 million needed to complete the first phase of the 2 phase plan. Bishop Jugis is forming a team of volunteers who may have a heart for seeing this project to completion. If you are interested in participating in this project, please contact the office.
Thank you,
Father Alex -
