Question: What is Divine Mercy Sunday, when is it, and what is it all about?

Answer: 

Dear Robert, 

Divine Mercy Sunday this year is April 7th.  It’s about the message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy, based on the writings of St. Faustina Kowalska, an uneducated Polish nun who wrote a diary recording the revelations she received about God’s mercy. 

Robert, in researching your question, I discovered that there’s a whole web site devoted to this topic!  It’s www.marian.org/divinemercy/.   There you’ll find lots more information about Divine Mercy Sunday and related topics.
