The next Postulancy Class being offered after the February 2007 class will be in June 2007. The Fathers of Mercy are looking for good, faithful, solid, holy and dedicated men to join their Community. The Congregation is made up of itinerant missionary preachers who preach parish missions, retreats and devotions throughout the United States and Canada.
