The Order Franciscans of Divine Mercy and Love of God is an Old Catholic religious order founded under Mission Saints Sergius & Bacchus INC a Massachusetts Old Catholic Faith Community of the National Catholic Church of America as religious nonprofit church who have dedicate themselves to live out the call to St. Francis “go rebuild My Church” as a call to each one of us to encourage unity within the Mystical Body of Christ, The Universal Church, and to gather all who accept Christ as their redeemer and Savior together as is their rite by their Baptism.

We are dedicated to healing those who have been hurt by some churches actions of discrimination and selectivity but yearn for a Catholic spirituality, liturgy and to partake of the Eucharist and we serve all God's children especially the elderly, sick, divorced, and poor.  We serve as chaplains to nursing homes, and hospices and make home visitations to those who are shut-ins because of health or age or lack of transportation bringing them Eucharist and celebrating mass in their homes.

We welcome and encourage the inclusion of women and married persons into the priesthood.

We live our vows as partnered/married or single persons, male and female, under the rule of life established by St. Francis. The vow of Chastity is not a requirement but is encouraged for single persons.

We affirm and proclaim the Divine Mercy and Infinite Love of God for all people regardless of their race, nationality, sexual orientation or marital situation.
Members of the Order serve as Lay Apostles, vowed Brothers, Sisters, Deacons and Priests in parish ministries, hospital and nursing home ministries and outreach programs to the poor, homeless, youth and seniors.
