The following is from Josephine Yu, co-coordinator of the WAF, Honolulu Division:

His Excellency, Bishop Larry Silva with the witnessing of Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona on April 23, 2006, Mercy Sunday, dedicated our Diocese and the Islands of Hawaii to Divine Mercy. A heavenly inspired move courageously taken up by our Bishop.

Now ours is the responsibility to apply, promote and disseminate the messages of Divine Mercy, Chaplets, Novena and Acts of Love and Mercy.
