For convenience, participants of the Second World Apostolic Congress on Mercy have been divided into the following categories:
1) full Congress participants:
- bishops and official representatives of authorities (church, state and local government authorities)
- official WACOM delegations
- organised groups (parishes, movements, organisations and associations beyond WACOM)
- individuals (they can be joined in language groups or groups from the same country)
2) participants on special rules:
- accredited journalists serving congress events
3) participants of selected events only (e.g. Congress inauguration and closing ceremonies, Eucharists, concerts and associated events)
Participants are requested to register according to the selected category. Except for participation in selected events only, other participants are obliged to pay the registration fee of 100 EUR per person. The registration fee includes the board costs (lunch and supper), transportation in Krakow and to Wadowice as well as to the State Museum KL Auschwitz-Birkenau, congress materials and gadgets. It is not inclusive of the costs of accommodation and transfers.
In justified cases, the Organisational Committee can exempt a participant from a registration fee and ensure accommodation for them in one of Krakow’s parishes.
Should you have any questions or requests for fee exemption, please contact the secretarial office of the Congress:
