Divine Mercy Sunday

I was all dressed up in my Bavarian costume for the morning Mass at the St. Josef Church on the second Sunday of Easter. The Octave Day of Easter is known as St. Thomas Sunday, because of the story "Doubting Thomas" in the Gospel(John 20:19-29).

St. Joseph Church in located within a walking distance from Tayih Landis Hotel in Tainan. In an old church, we had a special blingual Mass in Mandarin and in German to welcome the participation of RD. It was an unprecedented event for St. Josef Church to host the guests from St. Peter Cathedral in Regensburger.

On the vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday, May 1, 2011, Pope John Paul II was beatified on by his successor, Pope Benedict XVI. Pope John Paul passed away in April 2005. The Divine Mercy Sunday was designed by him on April 30, 2000.
