“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest”. (Matthew 11:28)
“At three o’clock, implore My mercy, especially for poor sinners; and, if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony. This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world. I will allow you to enter into My mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion… “ (Diary, 1320)
We strongly encourage you to visit our Shrine every day and to private prayer in front of The Image of Merciful Jesus. Our church is open every day from 8 am to 6 pm.
“Souls who spread the honour of My mercy I shield through their entire lives as a tender mother her infant, and at the hour of death I will not be a Judge for them, but the Merciful Saviour” (Diary 1075). This is what the Lord Jesus promised to everyone who will proclaim His Mercy, spread its honour in any way. Priests can rejoice at His additional promise: “Hardened sinners will repent on hearing their words when they speak about My unfathomable mercy, about the compassion I have for them in My Heart. To priests who proclaim and extol My mercy, I will give wondrous power; I will anoint their words and touch the hearts of those to whom they will speak” (Diary 1521). These promises show how important it is to spread the honour of the Divine Mercy since Jesus promises His maternal care, during the lifetime and at the hour of death, to everyone who will undertake this task.
Pomysł zakupu działki w Keysborough przy Greens Road narodził się z inicjatywy księdza Maksymiliana Szury SChr w maju 1998 roku. Zakupiony teren bardzo szybko został uporządkowany i zagospodarowany, a metalowa szopa przerobiona na tymczasową kaplicę. Listem, z dnia 17 czerwca 1998, Arcybiskup George Pell wyraził zgodę na otwarcie Polskiego Centrum Katolickiego i na odprawianie Mszy Świetej w tymczasowej kaplicy.
Dnia 6 grudnia 1998 roku ks. Arcybiskup Stefan Wesoły dokonał poświęcenia kaplicy i terenu.
