The World Apostolic Congress on Mercy (WACOM) was a religious event launched by Pope Benedict XVI that draws from the teachings of Saint 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]
The Congress' current status is unknown as of June 2021.
