A Brief History of the Divine Mercy Statue in Kibeho on Nyarushishi (Rwanda)

The Divine Mercy Amphitheater

Currently, we pray a Divine Mercy Chaplet with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament every day at 3pm, before the statue of the Divine Mercy.

In order to further promote the message of Divine Mercy, we are in the process of building an amphitheater around the monumental statue of Jesus. This amphitheater includes a field altar and will accommodate 2,000 faithful on the Feasts of The Divine Mercy, Christ the King, the Immaculate Conception, and other major celebrations. We are also building six confessionals, which will be used for the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the pilgrims of Kibeho. The first sign of God’s mercy is healing by the forgiveness of sin. We will also hold concerts of sacred music in the amphitheater.

We entrust the whole world to Jesus through daily prayer, so that it can live out the hope of His Mercy.
