It is now exclusively an American community. The generalate is located in South Union, Kentucky. The primary apostolate of the Fathers of Mercy is to conduct parish missions and retreats throughout the country. During the mission, Fr. Ben will encourage and challenge the parish community to make a stronger, deeper personal commitment to Christ and His Church.
