The Divine Mercy Shrine is a Roman Catholic monument in El Salvador, Misamis Oriental, Philippines.[1] It features a 50-foot (15 m) statue[2][3] of Jesus as the Divine Mercy as the focal point of Divine Mercy Hills, a tract of land overlooking Macajalar Bay on the island of Mindanao.[4][5]

The nine-hectare (22-acre) land for the Shrine was purchased for a nominal amount and the complex was paid for by donations.[6] The shrine was completed in 2008 and serves as a pilgrimage site for Divine Mercy devotees.[4][3]
