Since 1941, the Divine Mercy message and devotion has been spread by the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception and our Association of Marian Helpers. The Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception is a religious congregation of more than 500 priests and brothers in 19 countries around the world. We are faithful to the Holy Father and embrace the official teachings of the Catholic Church as we live out our identity and fulfill our mission, which includes the following: • Spreading devotion to Mary as the Immaculate Conception. • Praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, especially the victims of war and disease. • Operating publishing apostolates and assisting where the need is greatest in parishes, shrines, schools, and missions. • Promoting the Divine Mercy message and devotion.
