General Information | Divine Mercy Shrine & Retreat Donors

“The Divine Mercy Shrine will be the PEOPLE’S SHRINE” - the Shrine For the People, Of the People and By the People. To be a part in the building of the Shrine, we invite you to make a Pledge and commit to be ONE of our CO-BUILDERS of this sacred Divine Mercy Shrine of the West Coast. All our co-builders’ names will be individually memorialized on permanently etched bricks on walkways and on the plaza, on plaques of various gardens and inside the Church.

General Information

This page is the home of all the information about the Shrine. It will have updates on the construction progress, and photos, plus many other features. Here are some of the Architectural designs with inspired explanations of the designs. Some features are not evident in the pictures, but use your imagination and envision the word descriptions that follow:

THE DIVINE MERCY HILLS. This aerial view of the Divine Mercy Shrine site shows the placement of the shrine/church and some of the other buildings such as: the Retreat Center on the topmost right and the religious house on the left side of the retreat center. The church has 5 domes, which represent 5 wounds of Jesus. The dark shade on the right of the church is the parking lot..

 

“BUILDING THE DIVINE MERCY SHRINE ONE BRICK AT A TIME”
A view from the entrance gate on Sheridan Road. The walkways (Pathways to the Fountain of Mercy) from Sheridan Road to the front of the church will be made of bricks where all of our Co-Buildersf names will be permanently etched and individually memorialized.

FOUNTAIN OF UNFATHOMABLE MERCY. A view of the Plaza. The Crucifix will have waterfalls at the back; waters from the left and right sides of the falls will be flowing to the middle foot of the cross going to the pool (fountain) in the middle of the plaza. The waterfalls will be cascading on red granite stones on the left and white granite stones on the right (refer to the Image of Divine Mercy). The stairs are semi-circle shape, (Alpha and the Omega, First and the Last). The Conference Hall will be under the church. Both sides of the church will be accessible for handicapped.

 

An aerial view showing the natural cross formation of the Divine Mercy Hills. The walk way from the entrance gate to the front of the Crucifix will have the trees and roses to form the 20 decades of the rosary: the trees will be the "Our Father" beads and the rows of 10 rose trees in between the trees are the "Hail Mary" beads.
