2 Our Special Guests The United Nations International Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima This statue is an official International Pilgrim Virgin statue. Carved in 1927, this statue was blessed on May 13, 1947 by Pope Pius XII. Then the Bishop of Fatima blessed this statue for its mission to the United Nations on October 13, On December 8th, 1952, it was taken into the Meditation Room of the United Nations by Msgr. Harold Colgan, Founder of the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima. There, he led the recitation of the Holy Rosary where hundreds of people prayed for an end to the Korean War which was a product of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. The Korean war which started in 1950 ended on July 1953, seven months after Our Lady visited the United Nations headquarters in New York. With the United Nations comprising of more than 192 nations, Our Lady has touched the hearts of people around the world and made her peace plan known to the representatives of the United Nations members. The true value of this historic statue is that it becomes for us what Pope Pius XII described as The Messenger of Her Royalty. The United Nations International Pilgrim Statue of Fatima has been called an Ambassador of Peace. Travelling the world for many years, the statue brings the peace plan of Our Lady to our present times. This is especially true in times of war and terrorism. Pope Benedict XVI told the custodian of the statue, Mrs. Judy Studer, that the prophetic message of Fatima is more important today than in During the centennial (100 years) anniversary of the Fatima apparitions. the statue visited the United Nations headquarters for the second time when Archbishop Bernardito Auza, Permanent Observer of the Holy See (Vatican) to the United Nations organized the historic visit in May He will be the keynote speaker for the Divine Mercy Conference in May 24-26, 2019 at the Hawaii Convention Center. This pilgrim statue also serves as an Ambassador of Vocations inspiring prayer and the need to encourage and support vocations within the Universal Church. As a pilgrim statue, it promotes Our Lady s intercession through prayer. This representative pilgrim statue provides an inspiration to both our young and old equally to answer God s call. The First-Class Relics of the Fatima Saints: St. Jacinta and St. Francisco Father Luis Kondor, Postulator for the Cause of the Beatification of Francisco and Jacinta Marto and Lucia Dos Santos presented the First Class Relics to Mrs. Judy Studer on November Graciously, she accepted these sacred items encased in a reliquary - the relics of St. Jacinta and St. Francisco and a piece of the holm-oak tree on which Our Blessed Mother stood on during the apparitions in Fatima. Father Kondor asked that Mrs. Studer use the reliquary to bring hope and healing to all sick people and especially to share the story of Fatima with children. Judy, who has a great devotion to the Divine Mercy, encourages people to pray both the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for healing. Make an effort to venerate the special statue of Our Lady and the relics of the Fatima Saints as they visit Hawaii for the first time during the Divine Mercy Conference on May 24-26, 2019 at the Hawaii Convention Center. Truly, a history in the making! Come and be blessed! Pray for peace and healing! Register early. Seats are limited!

3 About the Key Guest Speakers Keynote Speaker: His Excellency, The Most Rev. Archbishop Bernadito Auza Apostolic Nuncio, Permanent Observer of the Holy See (Vatican) to the United Nations and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the Organization of American States. Born in Talibon, Philippines on June 1959, Archbishop Auza was ordained priest for the Diocese of Tagbilaran on June He earned a doctorate in Theology and entered the diplomatic service of the Holy See in He served at the Apostolic Nunciature in Madagascar, in Bulgaria, and then in Albania. He then served in the Secretariat of State in the Vatican and from there, he was appointed to the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations in New York. He was appointed Apostolic Nuncio to Haiti on May 2008 and was ordained Titular Archbishop of Suacia on July He was appointed Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the Organization of American States in July During the centennial anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady in Fatima (in May 2017), Archbishop Auza organized a visit of the pilgrim statue of Our Lady of Fatima into the United Nations in New York. The statue visited the U.N for the second time. Hawaii Catholics will now have the privilege of meeting this very important representative of Vatican during the May 24-26, 2019 Divine Mercy Conference at the Hawaii Convention Center. Featured Speaker: Fr. Donald Calloway, Marians of the Immaculate Conception Fr. Calloway is a convert to Catholicism. Before his conversion, he was a high school drop-out who had been institutionalized and thrown in jail multiple times. He is a modern day story of St. Augustine. Fr. Donald grew without any religion or father-figure to model. Satisfaction of the senses became young Donald s rule of life that escalated to a life of crime. During a time of endless wanton wandering filled with drugs, booze, women and rock music, his mother became a Catholic and fervently prayed for her fifteen-year-old son to return home. Like a modern-day St. Monica, she trusted that God would touch his soul with a grace of repentance. Reaching rock-bottom, Donald discovered a book on Marian apparitions and devoured its powerful message of repentance. The Blessed Virgin Mary had literally stolen his heart. As for his conversion, Father Calloway notes: "There are no accidents in life. Everything happens for a reason, because of God the Father's plans. And as for Our Lady, without her, I might be dead." After his radical conversion, he became a priest of the Congregation of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary in May He exhibits an unmistakable zeal for the priesthood and devotion to Our Lady. He is a well -known and sought-after conference speaker on Divine Mercy and the Blessed Virgin Mary and author of numerous books. Back by popular demand, he will visit Hawaii for the third time to share his conversion story and to preach on the power of the Holy Rosary and the intercession of the Mother of God. Fr. Calloway, who is the current Vicar Provincial and Vocations Director of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, the official promoters of Divine Mercy, will be preaching with much vigor about the devotion to the Rosary and the Divine Mercy, in what he calls the "one-two punch" combination that will bring people back to God. He travels worldwide inspiring all to recognize and embrace the countless graces God grants us in our own lives. Part of a new generation of priests in the new springtime of the Church, Fr. Calloway s amazing conversion story powerfully manifests Our Lord s infinite mercy. Listen to the powerful presentations of this dynamic priest. Bring your children, your families and friends. Allow them to be inspired by Father Donald Calloway. Your families and friends will be touched and will be blessed during the Divine Mercy Conference on May 24-26, 2019 at the Hawaii Convention Center. Register early! Seats are limited.

6 An Appeal for Your Prayers and Support On February 1931, Jesus appeared to a nun in Poland, Saint Faustina, and asked her to become the apostle and secretary of God s mercy. Jesus gave her a message that she was to spread throughout the world His words of Love and Mercy. He made it clear that the need to proclaim His message of Mercy is urgent because the world needs it as a preparation for His Second Coming. "Speak to the world about My mercy... It is a sign for the end times. After it will come the Day of Justice. While there is still time, let them have recourse to the fountain of My mercy." Diary 848 You will prepare the world for my final coming Diary 429 Tell souls about this great Mercy of mine because the awful day, the day of My Justice is near. Diary 965 This message is also an invitation for all of us living in the present modern time of Responding to this plea from Jesus, the Eucharistic Apostles of the Divine Mercy (EADM) is organizing a Divine Mercy Conference that will help to spread Devotion to the Divine Mercy.
