OUR Mission

  • Dedicated to the development of a Divine Mercy shrine in Southern California.
  • Spreading to a fallen world the the Divine Mercy message and devotion.
  • Drawing people of all nations, cultures, and beliefs to a place of meditation in prayer for graces to the fountain of mercy— the image of Divine Mercy.
  • Venerating this image with trust in our Lord Jesus Christ who said, "I promise that the soul who will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over its enemies already here on Earth,  especially at the hour of death. I myself will defend it as My own glory...by means of this image I shall grant many graces to souls." 
  • Through this shrine to proclaim to the whole world God's Unfathomable Mercy. ​

USE and purpose of the shrine

  • Here is a place where people can come to contemplate the Mercy of God as revealed to St. Faustina
  • Here the weary come to find rest. Here they encounter His Mercy in the silence of their hearts. A silent dialogue between God and creature beyond the hearing of angels and men take place here from day to day as the Lord takes each one on a walk along the Way of the Cross to show how much he or she is loved. 
  • It is a place where the youth can also learn about and experience God. So many millennials are fearful of the future and are blind to their true identity because they have no sense of God's Mercy and the primacy of a life built on Christ.
  • The signs and wonders experienced at the shrine grounds are the Lord's way of calling ALL to Himself, inviting each one to return to God and share in the joy of coming to the fount of His Mercy.
