Meet Our Speakers

We are blessed to be joined by voices that carry the message of mercy through personal tragedy, religious devotion, and decades of apostolic work.

Sister Gaudia Skass

A member of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy (the same order as St. Faustina), Sister Gaudia travels from Poland to share the "Warrior" spirit of St. Faustina. She speaks powerfully on spiritual warfare and the necessity of choosing the "best time" for prayer to equip ourselves for life's daily battles.

Bridget Sakr

Bridget shares a heart-wrenching yet hopeful testimony of "bold forgiveness." After losing her 11-year-old daughter, Veronique, in a tragic road incident, Bridget chose to open her heart to God rather than shut it. She speaks on how the "Seven Sorrows of Our Lady" gave her strength and how forgiveness leads to true spiritual freedom.

John Canavan

As the Director of Divine Mercy Publications Australia, John has spent over 30 years spreading this grassroots movement. He provides deep insight into the Diary of St. Faustina and the "floodgates of mercy" that open on Divine Mercy Sunday. His mission is to remind us that no matter how great our sins, God’s mercy is an ocean waiting to receive us.
