Why go on this trip?

Divine Mercy Sunday is a special day for Catholics.

It is the Sunday right after Easter.

On this day, we thank Jesus for His great mercy and love for us.

The message of Divine Mercy comes from Saint Faustina, a nun from Poland.

Thousands of people go to the Shrine for this day each year.

You can join the Mass. You can pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. You can go to confession. You can pray in peace and quiet.

You will travel with many kababayan — fellow Filipinos who share your faith.

Many people come home with a happy heart and new friends.

We did this trip in 2025. It was a blessed trip, and we want to share it with you again in 2027.

How to pay: You can send an e-transfer, or you can pay cash in person.

If you need to cancel: The $100 deposit cannot be given back to you. If you already paid your balance and you need to cancel, you can get money back only from your own travel insurance. The insurance will pay only if your reason is covered, like if you lose your job or you get sick. The insurance company makes that decision, not us. This is why we strongly suggest that you buy travel insurance when you book. If insurance does not work for you, you can look for another person to take your place. Please talk to Anette about it first.

Our 2025 trip

We did this pilgrimage for the first time in April 2025.

51 pilgrims came with us. We left Toronto early in the morning, and our border crossing went well.
