Live Programs
Design a visit to provide the highest impact to enrich, inspire, and renew your entire community
Combining imagery, sound, light, and the spoken word, the gifted voices of Dave and Joan Maroney help to bring the most powerful quotes of Jesus and passages from the Diary of Saint Faustina to life.
MOMM's live programs are scheduled as part of a tour as we drive to regions of the U.S. with equipment in tow. We bring images, lighting, and sound equipment to provide a professional, yet prayerful, production. Our programs are typically presented in the sanctuary of the church. In service to the local parish, we strive to be flexible. We have developed a variety of programs enabling us to reach all age groups and spirituality levels. We can help to structure a visit to send a big blast of Divine Mercy to the general parish audience, religious education, youth groups, RCIA programs, conferences, Catholic schools, and more.
Tell All Souls About My Mercy
Parish and General Programs
Seen live by more than 70,000 people in more than 500 parishes coast to coast with the overwhelming response of being a deeply spiritual and moving program, Tell All Souls About My Mercy is a powerful way to share the message of mercy with your community. After a brief introduction to St. Faustina, you are taken deep into the message of mercy bringing the heart of the Diary to life in a profound way.
I have been to many, many church events and I have never seen anything that even comes close to this program.
MOMM utilizes a reproduction of the original image of The Divine Mercy, which was painted by Eugene Kazimirowski in 1934 in Vilnius, Lithuania. This was the only image painted under the direction of St. Faustina. It is documented that St. Faustina had the artist make several changes to the face before she finally came to the studio and announced that Jesus said to leave the image in the state it was in. Quoting the Lord she added: “It isn’t good, but it will do; you don’t have to change it anymore.”
In 1996, quite by chance, it was discovered that there is “a practically perfect correspondence” between the face of the Vilnius image and the face on the image of the Shroud of Turin. This amazing correlation is beautifully demonstrated in MOMM presentations, and is often felt to be one of the most moving aspects. Christ demonstrates that through His suffering and death came LIFE. Jesus comes to us as a merciful savior, pouring out his mercy upon us all.

Practical Divine Mercy
A great follow up talk to the Tell All Souls About My Mercy presentation, or for small groups or conferences that require something a little less "grand" — Practical Divine Mercy is an inspiring talk by the Maroneys that covers the basic elements of The Divine Mercy message, but with the focus on how to apply this message in daily life. Exciting stories of Divine Mercy "miracles" gathered from travels across the country and beyond are shared. So too are the Maroneys own personal experiences, which bring the message home to individuals, families, parishes and communities.

A New Development
An exciting development has been the recent addition of our "Flight Ready" program to our repertoire enabling us to fly to locations and present the message using projected images. This production was introduced in England and Scotland in May 2005 and received rave reviews. It is an absolutely beautiful program that gives us much more flexibility in responding to requests for presentations. The format is excellent for large venues, such as conferences. It also enables MOMM to take the presentation overseas.
Divine Mercy For Young Hearts
Youth and School Programs
Captivating the attention of youth of all ages, Divine Mercy for Young Hearts uses the story of Saint Faustina to provide a solid catechism lesson that highlight basics truths of the Catholic faith. Teachers and principals are constantly amazed at how attentive the children are during the programs and how well they respond. Presentations are generally given in the church, but can also be given in a hall or gymnasium, if need be. The presentations are typically 60 minutes long and can be tailored to any age group. MOMM is flexible and has lots of experience with youth, so trust that the perfect presentation(s) can be planned for your mix of students and their parents, too. Just call MOMM to discuss your needs.
