As we stand on the threshold of a new chapter in our nation’s history, we are reminded that hope and resilience are the guiding lights of our journey. The election of a new president brings with it an opportunity for renewal and restoration. This moment is not just a political victory—it is a testament to the enduring strength of faith, hope, and charity. Are we witnessing the power of Divine Mercy? Has Our Nation Been Spared the Wrath of God?
The Divine Mercy Ministry of SoCal invites you to explore these critical questions and more at The Divine Mercy Conference & Workshop. The coming year holds the promise of rebuilding, unity, and a chance to return to foundational values that uphold our Catholic faith. It is a time to remember that God’s grace works through the efforts of those who stand for truth and justice. The year ahead offers an unparalleled opportunity to bring back tradition, embrace policies that honor the dignity of life, foster economic growth, and protect the principles of freedom and faith.

Keynote Speakers:
His Excellency, Bishop Joseph Strickland
Known as “America’s Bishop,” His Excellency stands as a staunch defender of life, the Traditional Latin Mass, and Catholic values. Born in Fredericksburg, Texas, and raised in Atlanta, Texas, Bishop Strickland's roots run deep in the heartland, shaped by a strong commitment to faith and family. From his early priesthood in the Diocese of Tyler to his appointment as its bishop in 2012, he has shown unwavering dedication to upholding the timeless teachings of the Church and the values that define our great nation.
Throughout his tenure, Bishop Strickland has courageously championed the Deposit of Faith, even when faced with opposition. His public defense of Archbishop Viganò's allegations regarding Church governance, his critiques of moral confusion within the Vatican, and his vocal support for the sanctity of life reflect his unshakable commitment to the truth. A stalwart advocate for the dignity of human life, he boldly rejected COVID-19 vaccines tied to unethical practices and stood firm in calling Catholics to a higher standard of moral clarity.
Bishop Strickland's unapologetic patriotism is evident in his advocacy for traditional values and his active role in the public square. From leading prayer rallies before pivotal elections to supporting religious freedom, he has exemplified the courage and conviction of an American leader rooted in faith. His willingness to speak truth to power, even at great personal cost, is a testament to his integrity and love for both God and his country.
As a bishop, he upheld the beauty and reverence of the Tridentine Mass, inspiring Catholics to embrace the richness of their heritage while remaining faithful to the Church's teachings. Though removed from his post in 2023, Bishop Strickland's legacy as a shepherd who refused to compromise the Gospel remains an inspiration to all who seek to live boldly as faithful Catholics and proud Americans. His leadership and witness are the highlight of this year’s event.
Fr. Frank Pavone
Fr. Frank Pavone stands as a tireless Pro-Life Hero and a bold champion of the Catholic faith, dedicating his life to defending the sanctity of human life and proclaiming the Gospel truth. From his early calling to the priesthood and his participation in the 1976 March for Life, Fr. Pavone's unwavering commitment to protecting the unborn has defined his ministry and mission.
As the national director of Priests for Life, Fr. Pavone became a powerful voice for the voiceless, leading initiatives such as Rachel's Vineyard and the Silent No More campaign to bring healing and hope to those affected by abortion. His leadership extended to global pro-life efforts during his time at the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for the Family, where he inspired others to defend life at every stage.
Fr. Pavone's dedication to the pro-life cause often led him to take courageous stands, even in the face of controversy. He forged impactful collaborations, including welcoming Norma McCorvey ("Jane Roe" of Roe v. Wade) into the Catholic Church and supporting the Schindler family during the Terri Schiavo case. His bold efforts, such as advocating for Baby Joseph and giving dignity to the victims of abortion like those in the Gosnell case, showcased his relentless pursuit of justice for the most vulnerable.
Despite facing significant challenges, including laicization in 2022 for alleged disobedience and controversial social media posts, Fr. Pavone remained steadfast in his mission. His advocacy for life and unwavering faith in the Church continue to inspire millions, as he calls Catholics to live with courage and fidelity to Christ’s teachings. At this year's conference, he will inspire us with his passion and dedication to the sanctity of life.
Michael Matt
Michael J. Matt, editor of The Remnant, stands as a passionate defender of Traditional Catholic values, dedicating his life to preserving and promoting the timeless teachings and practices of the Catholic Church. As the youngest son of founder Walter Matt, Michael has carried forward his father’s vision of a faithful remnant steadfastly adhering to the Church's traditions amidst modern challenges.
Under Michael Matt’s leadership, The Remnant has become a flagship publication for the Traditionalist Catholic movement, offering a platform for prominent voices like Thomas Woods, Christopher Ferrara, and Michael Davies. He has boldly articulated opposition to changes within the Church that diverge from centuries-old traditions, particularly those stemming from the Second Vatican Council. While The Remnant defended the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI, Michael has been unflinching in his critique of policies under Pope Francis that he believes undermine Catholic orthodoxy.
Michael’s work extends beyond the written word. Through Remnant TV, he reaches a global audience, providing weekly video commentaries that champion Catholic tradition and challenge modern secular influences. Additionally, he has fostered community and spiritual enrichment by organizing pilgrimages, including the U.S. Chapter of the famed Chartres Pilgrimage, which unites Catholics in a shared devotion to their faith.
Despite facing criticism and controversies, including unfounded accusations of extremism, Michael Matt has remained steadfast in his mission to defend the truth of the Catholic faith. His tireless efforts have inspired countless Catholics to embrace the richness of their spiritual heritage and stand firm in their beliefs. Michael Matt exemplifies what it means to be a resolute guardian of Traditional Catholic values in a rapidly changing world. This year marks his first appearance at our conference, and his insights promise to enlighten and empower.
