The 4th World Apostolic Congress on Mercy
(WACOM4) is taking place in the Philippine capital Manila, next week. “Communion in Mercy, Mission for Mercy”, is the theme of the January 16-20 event. WACOM is an international gathering of Divine Mercy devotees and promoters, among whom are cardinals, bishops, priests, religious and the laity.
So far three WACOMs have been convened since it began in 2008.
Pope Francis has nominated French Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, Archbisop of Lyon, as his special envoy to WACOM4.
