About Divine Mercy Tours
Divine Mercy Tours has been bringing groups to Vilnius, the home of the Original Image of Divine Mercy, every year since 2015 and has fostered many treasured friendships in the “City of Mercy.” If you are looking for a spiritually enriching pilgrimage to see the places where Saint Faustina Kowalska and Blessed Fr. Michael Sopocko lived during her apparitions and the painting of the Original Image of Divine Mercy, there is no better or more robust tour than this one. Each tour is led by filmmaker and author Daniel diSilva, a world-renowned expert on the Original Image of Divine Mercy and the lives of the people surrounding its creation. The Divine Mercy Tours team only takes a few pilgrimages each year and our groups are intentionally limited to smaller numbers giving each traveler the most personal experience possible. Boasting picturesque churches and narrow cobbled streets, Vilnius is a vibrant city of contrasts. Vilnius is known throughout the Catholic world as “The City of Mercy” for an ancient icon of Mary, Mother of Mercy that hangs above that famous Gate of Dawn. The history of Lithuania can be told through her churches and it is no surprise that Vilnius has a deep tradition as a pilgrimage destination. The path of Mercy found here begins with the mystical life of St. Faustina and Blessed Father St. Michael Sopoćko, who both lived in Vilnius and from here spread the message of God’s Mercy to the world.

The Original Image of Divine Mercy and its history was virtually disregarded until the release of the documentary The Original Image of Divine Mercy during the Holy Year of Mercy. Since then, pilgrimages to Vilnius have multiplied exponentially but are still just a trickle of the most informed devotees. This is a very unique opportunity to benefit from the friendships and familiarity with Old Town Vilnius that have been carved out during the groundbreaking research with the filmmaker who first broke the story.
