About Us
Who We Are
We are the Apostolate of the Divine Mercy, Inc., a non-profit corporation registered in the State of Florida compliant with the IRS 501(c)3 tax exempt status. We were first founded in February 11, 2005.
We are closely associated with the Faustinum Association of Apostles of Divine Mercy. Faustinum springs from the charism of Saint Faustina, from her spirituality and her apostolic activities. It brings together priests, deacons, religious and lay people who desire to serve the message of Divine Mercy. The headquarters of the Association, which operates in conjunction with the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy (SOLM), is located at the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Cracow – Lagiewniki. The main emphasis of the Faustinum Association’s activities is placed on the programmed spiritual formation work, so that the apostles of the Divine Mercy can develop their spiritual life and fruitfully fulfill the mission of Mercy.
Our Mission
To be Messengers of Divine Mercy; to spread the Devotion and the message of the Divine Mercy as entrusted by Jesus to Saint Sister Maria Faustina Kowalska; to perform Deeds of Mercy always and everywhere.
Our Shrine to the Divine Mercy
We are located at 4121 SW 85th Avenue, Miami Florida 33155. The shrine was first founded in February 11, 2005. The Shrine functions as a prelude to the Sanctuary and other facilities which the Apostolate of Divine Mercy will build in the near future on the grounds of where they shrine exists today.
The Shrine has a main chapel where the Divine Mercy Image and a relic of St. Faustina are venerated; a Blessed Sacrament Chapel where the Blessed Sacrament is visited daily; a small religious store where articles mostly brought from Poland are available for purchase; and supporting office space.
