World Apostolic Congress on Mercy

The World Apostolic Congress on Mercy (WACOM) is a religious event launched by Pope Benedict XVI that draws from the teachings of Faustina Kowalska.[1]

The first WACOM occurred in Rome in 2008 with subsequent events in Kraków (2011), Bogotá (2014) and Manila (2017).[2] The inaugural event at the Vatican drew four thousand from two hundred delegations.[3]

In 2014, a delegation of one thousand went to the Congress in Colombia, and the 2017 event involved more than five thousand attendees.[4][1]
