DIVINE MERCY CONFERENCE 2026
The Divine Mercy Conference returned to the RDS Ballsbridge in Dublin from February 27th to March 1st, 2026, marking over 30 years as one of Ireland’s premier Catholic gatherings. Centred on the theme “This is my Body… This is my Blood, given up for you,” the weekend offered a powerful space for spiritual renewal through Eucharistic Adoration, the Stations of the Cross, and the recitation of the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
This year’s lineup featured renowned international speakers, including Fr. James Blount and Fr. Leon Pereira, alongside local leaders, such as Archbishop Dermot Farrell. For those who couldn’t attend the RDS in person, the sessions were made accessible worldwide via live broadcasts on Radio Maria Ireland and Church Services TV. Whether attending for a single day or the full weekend, participants experienced a vibrant sense of community and a deepened devotion to the message of Divine Mercy.
In addition to the spiritual programme, the conference features an extensive exhibition area filled with various stands from religious organizations and charities. Attendees can browse a wide selection of books, icons, and devotional items, or learn more about the work of various Catholic ministries and missionary groups. This vibrant meeting place serves as a hub for fellowship between sessions, allowing pilgrims to take home tangible reminders of their weekend or support global charitable causes.
Ms. Patricia McNally, Ms. Caroline Busher and Ms. Suzanne O’Neil welcomed many to the Diocese of Ferns stand, which featured Christian Media Trust and www.thehookoffaith.com
