The Divine Mercy secretary general for Oceania, Lesina Levy, is in the Solomon Islands for the first ever Divine Mercy Ministry congress to be held there.
Lesina, who is from Samoa, is the main speaker at the conference.
The theme for this year’s congress is ‘God’s word is active and alive. The hope of humans through his son Jesus Christ the Divine Mercy’.
Participants from parishes in Malaita and Guadalcanal are attending the meeting.
The conference started Tuesday and ends on Saturday.
When she attended the Divine Mercy Congress in Sydney in 2012 Lesina told those present that that the Divine Mercy devotion has spread rapidly throughout Oceania – throughout Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Australia and the islands of Micronesia, Macronesia, Polynesia and Papua New Guinea.
The last Oceanian Apostolic Congress on Mercy was held in Apia, Samoa, in 2013
Many bishops (from Fiji, Pago-Pago, Australia, Tonga) and national committees from Oceania were present.
Divine Mercy Ministry is a worldwide ministry within the Catholic Church but is joined by Christians throughout the world
