“Spreading the Overflowing Mercy of God”


VISION: A living, vibrant, loving, trusting and relevant community of God’s people in the Parish of Divine Mercy.
MISSION: To build and consolidate ecclesial communities characterized by unity in diversity, equality, involvement and participation.


On a rocky hilltop in Marilao, a town in the Province of Bulacan, just a few kilometers from Manila, stands the Shrine dedicated to the Divine Mercy. No one could have foreseen that this place which used to be haunted to most of the residents and passersby would turn out to be the one of the most blessed pilgrim sites in the country. Little did they know that God had a special purpose in making it deserted for some years because it would soon become an oasis of His Mercy as it is today!
The place has become a destination for pilgrimages due to numerous cases of healings and conversions. The people who come and pray could attest to the sacredness of the place that combines Nature’s bliss with their yearning to be blessed. Somewhere somehow, they feel that the Mercy of God is so immeasurable. The intense feeling as the pilgrims arrive to this place of serenity creates an attraction to always come back and relish their experiences at the Shrine.


The National Shrine of the Divine Mercy is and will continue to be a
place where one can experience God to lighten up one’s burden and be
secured with the belief that God is present as a Loving Merciful Lord.
