Sisters of Divine Mercy, SDM 

The Sisters of Divine Mercy is a Public Association of the Faithful established by Bishop Frederick Henry in the Diocese of Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 2015, the Jubilee Year of Mercy.  We are both, a contemplative and active community, and we recognize the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty, and obedience as a gift of The Divine Mercy, which we embrace by vow in loving response to our call to religious life.

The Blessed Sacrament is central to devotion to The Divine Mercy. We depend greatly on the presence of our Eucharistic Spouse to help us in our daily activities, and we could not live or do anything without The Divine Mercy and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy and our Mother.  Our vocation to live the evangelical counsels for the glory of God, the salvation of souls, and the proclamation of  God’s infinite love and mercy as witnessed by the lives of our Spiritual Foundress, Saint Faustina Kowalska and our Spiritual Founder, Saint John Paul II only arises from the graces received from the Sacred Liturgy and Eucharistic Adoration. 

As Saint John Paul II says, “Only through the Eucharist is it possible to live the heroic virtues of Christianity: charity, to the point of forgiving one’s enemies; love for those who make us suffer; chastity in every age and situation of life; patience in suffering and when one is shocked by the silence of God in the tragedies of history  or of one’s own personal existence. You must always be Eucharistic souls in order to be authentic Christians.”

We are called to be witnesses for Jesus, Who pours His infinite, unconditional love and mercy upon us.
