Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over—twelve wicker baskets full.
Matthew 14: 19,20
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
Matthew 13:44-52
The Parable of the Wheat and Weeds. “Whoever has ears ought to hear”

But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.
Matthew 13:23
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.
Matthew 11:29-30
And whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
Matthew 10:38
We should not fear an outbreak of pandemic at Divine Mercy Catholic Church, such as has happened in Dixon. However the incident gives us an opportunity to recap the various steps that Father, Business and Facilities as well as the Security and Ushers Ministry have taken to protect you from contracting the virus when you attend Mass. Do not fear coming to Mass! There isn’t anything about safety, sanitizing and ensuring social distancing that hasn’t been shared with you on our website (www.divinemercynatomas.com) , in the e-bulletin and posted in the church.
After receiving the news that the church would reopen; Father Soane enlisted the very best of resources to make sure everyone could return to worship and feel comfortable and safe.
Divine Mercy is the last parish I will serve in active ministry. It feels somewhat like Divine Mercy Parish is the only parish that I served in. The time that I have spent here is the longest that I have served in one community since my ordination in 1987. As I prepare to leave I find my growth as a priest is due to the great and various contributions you’ve made to my experiences during the time that we have shared together. It is with a very grateful and joyful heart that I prepare for continued service to our God, yet in a different capacity.
What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light; what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.
Matthew 10:27
