Summary/Abstract: The Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy from 2016 and editorial work on the Dictionary of Polish Catholic Theologians (in print) gave the author the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the subject of Divine Mercy and to show the involvement of the Pallottines in the development of its cult. In this context, the theological symposia, firstly organized by the Pallottine Center in Czestochowa and then in Ołtarzewo were important. The complications arising from the publication of the Holy Office’s Notification of the Sacred Missions have not undermined scientific research and intellectual inquiry in the various theological aspects of the Pallottine centers of Divine Mercy. In parallel with the theological symposium, there were symposia for the laity, which became the inspiration for organizing the first Symposium in 1966. To emphasize the contributions of the Pallottines to the development of the Divine Mercy worship, the author outlined their journalistic and literary output on the Divine Mercy.
