Foto Br. Bernward As the Order General of the Community of Brothers of Mercy of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, I would like to greet your warmly. We are a Catholic order and live in large or small communities (convents) according to the Rule of St. Augustine and our own constitutions. The course of the day is shaped by times of work and prayer. We perform many social and pastoral services in Europe, Asia, and South America. Our goal is to be present to poor, sick, or socially disadvantages persons. We do this in hospitals, homes for the elderly, and other social institutions.

According to the commission of our founder Brother Peter Friedhofen, we offer help in a contemporary form and are open to the needs and signs of the times. We are pleased by your interest and on our Internet pages offer you further information about our life, our work, and our mission
