Welcome to the website of the Shrine of Divine Mercy

The Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Cebu sits atop a mountain in Barangay Garing, Consolacion town in the northern part of the province.
The 6.3-hectare shrine is being developed by the Palafox Architecture Group. Construction of the 177-foot statue of Divine Mercy that will rise some 800 feet above sea level started in 2020.
With world-renowned architect and urban planner, Felino “Jun” Palafox lending his signature to the design and development works, the Shrine of the Divine Mercy is seen as a major religious tourist destination.
The shrine is Cebu’s contribution to the celebration of 500 Years of Christianity in the Philippines, according to Cebu Archbishop Jose S. Palma.

The Three O'clock Prayer

You expired, O Jesus,
but the source of life gushed forth for souls
and an ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world.
O Fountain of Life,
unfathomable Divine Mercy,
envelop the whole world
and empty Yourself out upon us.
O Blood and Water,
which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus
as a fount of mercy for us,
I trust in You. (x3)

Inspiration From The Diary of St. Faustina

At the canonization of St. Faustina in 2000, Pope John Paul II reflected that the message of mercy Sister Faustina imparted stood like a “bridge” between the 20th century (one of the most violent in human history) and the third millennium (Pope John Paul II, Mass for the Canonization of Sister Mary Faustina Kowalska).

St. Faustina, a Polish nun, was gifted with mystical visions of our Lord Jesus. Her diary records her dialogue with Jesus as He proclaimed His message of mercy.

“Jesus: ‘My child, life on earth is a struggle indeed; a great struggle for my kingdom. But fear not, because you are not alone. I am always supporting you, so lean on Me as you struggle, fearing nothing. Take the vessel of trust and draw from the fountain of life – for yourself, but also for other souls, especially such as are distrustful of My goodness.’”

(Entry No. 1488)

Historical Background

The backstory of the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Cebu is linked to the tireless efforts of the lay association Shrine of Divine Mercy de Cebu Foundation, Inc. The non-profit, non-stock corporation spent over a decade looking for a suitable spot around Cebu that will enshrine the Divine Mercy icon. Their search began in 2000 and ended sometime in 2013 when they found a vast elevated area in Garing, Consolacion owned by former Consolacion Mayor Avelino Gungob, Sr.
