In 1988 whilst promoting the message of Divine Mercy in Dublin, Val Conlon met a Jesuit  a Jesuit Polish  Fr. Jacub Rostworowski, he was on his way to Zambia to serve the Polish Church as a missionary there. Fr. Jacub and his brother were influenced to become priests after seeing their father who was a professional artist paint an Image of Divine Mercy in his studio in Cracow.

After his ordination Fr. Jacub was appointed Chaplain first at the Hospital in Rabka where Saint Faustina had convalesced during her final bout of illness, and then he became Chaplin at the convent where she died.

Fr. Jacub invited Val to visit all the places associated with Saint Faustina in Cracow before his departure for the missions. Since then they have been friends and when Fr. Jacub started working with poor children and orphans in Zambia “Divine Mercy in Action” committed to help him with his work there.
