Throughout the Vicariate of the United States, our Mercedarian friars engage in three primary ministries: parochial service; education; and hospital/prison chaplaincies.

​

The United States Vicariate is located in five cities throughout the Eastern part of the United States.  However, as members of an international Order, we are present worldwide.

!!!OUR NEWEST FOUNDATION!!!

The friars of Holy Family Church form the newest foundation in our United States Vicariate.  They serve as chaplains to the Bridgettine Sisters, as well as providing pastoral work for two prisons.  Holy Family Church also has an active urban outreach and soup kitchen. In addition, Holy Family Church also serves as our House of Studies where our friars in formation are formed both in the religious life and seminary studies through their attendance at the Pontifical College Josephinum.
