The Church of St Teresa stands beside the Gate of Dawn (Aušros Vartai) in Vilnius Old Town, one of Lithuania's most venerated Catholic sites. Built by the Discalced Carmelites between 1633 and 1650 in an early Baroque style, the church adjoins the chapel that houses the miraculous icon of Our Lady, Mother of Mercy, a focus of pilgrimage for centuries. The parish live-streams Holy Mass daily in Lithuanian and Polish, extending the Aušros Vartai devotion to worshippers worldwide. It remains a working parish church at the very heart of the historic capital.

The Shrine of Divine Mercy stands in the Old Town of Vilnius and holds the original image of the Divine Mercy, painted in 1934 by Eugeniusz Kazimirowski under the guidance of Saint Faustina Kowalska and her confessor. It was in Vilnius that the Divine Mercy devotion first took shape, making the shrine a major destination for pilgrims from Poland, Lithuania and around the world. The church broadcasts its daily Mass and near-perpetual Eucharistic adoration live on YouTube, so the faithful everywhere can pray with the sanctuary. It remains a living centre of the Divine Mercy message in the Lithuanian capital.
