In
1989 whilst promoting the message of Divine Mercy Val Conlon met Polish
Jesuit Fr. Jacub Rostworowski in Dublin, who was on his way to Zambia
to serve as a missionary. Fr. Jacub was influenced to become a priest
after seeing his father who was a professional artist paint the Image
of Divine Mercy in his studio in Cracow.
After
his ordination Fr. Jacub was appointed Chaplain first at the Hospital
in Rabka. This is the hospital where Saint Faustina had convalessed
during her final bout of illness, and then he became Chaplin at the
convent where she died.
Fr.
Jacub invited Val to visit all the places associated with Saint Faustina
in Cracow before his departure for the missions. Since then they have
been friends and when Fr. Jacub started working with poor children and
orphans in Zambia H.U.D.T started to help him with his work. |
