Our Story
The Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary are a congregation of more than 500 priests and brothers in 17 countries around the world. We are recognized as the authorities on the authentic message of Divine Mercy. Saint John Paul II once told the Marian Congregation, “Be apostles of The Divine Mercy under the maternal and loving mantle of Mary Immaculate” (June 22, 1993). Our goals include: 1) To provide a trusted resource for information on the authentic Divine Mercy message and devotion, and about St. Maria Faustina Kowalska ― a “saint for our times.” 2) To connect with people who hunger for the mercy of God and who seek healing through the Divine Mercy message, which has been called "the greatest grassroots movement in the history of the Church." 3) To share stories about people who are putting Mercy into practice in their daily lives. More background ... Eden Hill in Stockbridge, MA, is also the spiritual home of the Association of Marian Helpers and Marian Press, the publishing apostolate of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M. Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, is the current "Father Joseph" (the honorary name given to the Director of the Association of Marian Helpers).He has been mentored by the world's leading experts in Divine Mercy and has spoken at more than 100 parishes to date. He succeeds Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC, who, as director, launched a new pastoral initiative called Hearts Afire: Parish-based Programs for the New Evangelization (HAPP). He is also the author of best-selling Marian Press books, including, "33 Days to Morning Glory," "The Second Greatest Story Ever Told," and "Divine Mercy Explained."
