Vinny flynn biography

Known to many as “the man who sings the Divine Mercy Chaplet on EWTN,” this father of seven has been involved in a ministry of mercy for over forty years, using his gifts of speaking, writing, counseling, and music to help people understand the teachings of the Church and open their hearts to the healing touch of God’s love. His personal, straight-forward style of writing and speaking makes theological concepts and the teachings of the Church come alive with new meaning and relevancy.

As a teacher and counselor for fourteen years, Vinny experienced first-hand how much healing is needed in the world. Feeling called to respond to this need, he began using his gifts in full-time religious ministry. His powerful teachings on Divine Mercy, Mary, the Sacraments, and the Father’s love have made him a popular speaker at conferences, and retreats.
