Internationally renowned actor, Doug Barry, presents his acclaimed "Passion of Christ" on Good Friday, April 10th at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church in Jensen Beach, Florida. His one-man stage production with musical accompaniment by Eric Genuis is a semi-improvised dramatic meditation on the Passion of Christ from the viewpoint of St. John.

We are also blessed to have the MercySong mission team join us on Good Friday to begin the nine-day Divine Mercy Novena Program. Jesus asked that the Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena to the Divine Mercy which would begin on Good Friday. Vinny Flynn, his wife, Donna and daughter, Mary will present the Novena each night at 7:00 pm through April 18th and be with us for the Hour of Great Mercy on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 19th, at 3:00 pm.

The Passion of Christ is the greatest and purest act of love in the history of mankind. Regrettably, most will know of the Passion, but never truly understand or experience the depth of love God intends for us all through His Passion.

This very powerful presentation has helped thousands of people worldwide to meditate deeply on the Passion of Christ. This captivating drama draws you in as though you were witnessing the true passion of Christ. A gripping event that is brought to life by actor Doug Barry, this presentation is truly a masterpiece. Beautifully directed for the screen, "Passion of Christ" is completed by a breath-taking musical score by Eric Genuis. This drama touches the heart of the viewer in a mysterious and profound way."
