The Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Płock, the place where the great prophetic mission of St. Sister Faustina Kowalska began, is loca- ted at 14/18 Old Market Square, in the convent building of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. On account of its historic nature, as the place where Jesus was revealed to Sister Faustina, instructing her to paint His picture with the inscription: Jesus, I trust in You and demanding the establishment of the Feast of The Divine Mercy in the Church; and also because of the many pilgrims attracted there; the Congregation chapel was eventually raised to the rank of the Shrine and a rectorate was established there. This was carried out by the Ordinary of the Płock Diocese, Bishop Stanisław Wielgus, on 30 April 2000, the day of Sister Faustina’s canonization. Every 22nd day of the month (on the day of the revelation of Jesus Christ to St. Sister Faustina) solemn services are held in honour of The Divine Mercy. Every day Masses are celebrated (in the morning and afternoon). At 3pm there is communal prayer at the Hour of Mercy followed by the Chaplet of The Divine Mercy. All day there is Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and the ministry of priests in the confessional. All this is taking place now in a temporary chapel, because construction works connected with the building of a new church are being carried out in the place of the revelations.
