Visions of Mercy: The Sacred Windows Premiere

A Solemn Mass, Sacred Blessing of Windows & Celebratory Luncheon

Father Paul Fox and the Divine Mercy Shrine cordially invite you to celebrate a historic milestone in the spiritual and cultural life of Western Australia: the installation and solemn blessing of seven monumental sacred artworks.

Set amid the peaceful rolling hills of the Lower Chittering Valley—adjoining the campus of Immaculate Heart College (Pre-K to Year 12)—the Shrine stands as one of Western Australia’s finest modern ecclesiastical achievements.

Special International Guest Concelebrant

We are deeply honored to announce that Very Rev. Fr. Elijah John Joseph of Our Lady of Guadalupe is traveling from the United States to concelebrate the Solemn Mass alongside Father Paul Fox.

Fr. Elijah serves as the Founder and Superior of the Benedictines of Divine Will. Following a deep devotion sparked by the theological writings of the Servant of God, Luisa Piccarreta, Fr. Elijah recognized a divine calling in 2009 to establish a contemplative monastic sanctuary dedicated to perpetual Eucharistic Adoration and the spirituality of the Divine Will. In 2014, he established the male branch of the community, which has since expanded internationally with five houses across Italy, the United States, and the Republic of San Marino.
