Kazimierz Chwalek, MIC, vice-coordinator for the North American Congress on Divine Mercy (NACOM) and provincial superior for the Marian Fathers in the United States and Argentina, characterized the participants in NACOM II, held from Oct. 21-22 at Prince of Peace Catholic Community in Houston, Texas. “They’re real,” said Fr. Kaz. “Their commitment to Christ is visible.” Their dedication to Divine Mercy is not the work of one day; “they’ve been teaching, guiding, instructing, inviting, inspiring — these are the leaders. And that’s why I’m very, very happy.” Organized by the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception in conjunction with the Catholic Marketing Network (CMN), and Fullness of Truth Catholic Evan- gelization Ministries, the Congress attracted more than 900 attendees from 19 states and around the world, including pilgrims from Bahrain, Singapore, and the Philippines. Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, archbishop of Galveston- Houston, Texas, was lead celebrant at Mass on the second day of the Congress. “Sisters and brothers, it is a joy to be present with you this morning on this Memorial Feast Day of St. John Paul II in the midst of a Congress on Divine Mercy,” said Cardinal DiNardo, “for indeed St. John Paul II was a great apostle of Divine Mercy, and led on by his friendship and by the spiri- tual communion he had with St. Faustina, he was able to bring to the whole Church the beauty of understanding the depth of the Scriptures and the Church’s faith and tradition on the overwhelming mercy of the Lord.” T HE J UBILEE E NDS ; M ERCY C ONTINUES C HRIS S PARKS I N THE NEWS 9WhZ_dWb :Wd_[b :_DWhZe" WhY^X_i^ef e\ =Wbl[ijed#>ekijed" J[nWi" m[bYec[Z j^[ i[YedZ Dehj^ 7c[h_YWd 9ed]h[ii ed C[hYo je ^_i WhY^Z_eY[i[ Zkh_d] j^[ <[Wij e\ Ij$ @e^d FWkb ??$ D79EC Å CWii \eh j^[ <[Wij e\ IW_dj @e^d FWkb ??
