introduction

“The Church must consider it one of her principal duties at every stage of history and especially
in our modern age to proclaim and to introduce into life the mystery of God's mercy, supremely revealed
in Jesus Christ. This mystery is the source of a life different from life which can be built by man.
I ask you: accept this responsibility! The people of today need your proclamation of Mercy: they need your works of mercy and they need your prayers to obtain mercy. Do not neglect any of these dimensions of the apostolate.” (JPII) Krakow-Lagiewniki June 1997 |
Plans Underway for Divine Mercy Shrine
The Divine Mercy Shrine will be the "PEOPLE'S SHRINE" - the Shrine For the People, of the People and By the People.
To partake in the building of the Shrine, we invite you to make a Pledge and commit to be ONE of many SPIRITUAL BUILDERS of this sacred inspiration,
Divine Mercy Shrine of the West Coast. SPIRITUAL BUILDERS' names will be memorialized permanently on etched bricks used on walkways, on the plaza,
on plaques of various gardens and inside the Church. We invite you to embrace this sacred project to help save many souls.
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, we believe there is no
better way to share the power of the message of God’s Mercy and to touch the hearts
and minds of people than by establishing a Divine Mercy Shrine on the West Coast, which
will last for many generations to come
The Divine Mercy Eucharistic Society purchased 100 acres of land--on rolling hills overlooking the greater Bay Area for a total of $ 3.3 million. This property is located on Sheridan Road in Sunol, CA, adjacent to I-680 North. Mr. Salvatore Caruso, a licensed professional architect with his office in Santa Clara County, has volunteered his time to design the plans of the proposed Divine Mercy Shrine. Even the owner of the property was instrumental by allowing us to purchase the land.
