A Call to Order
Dear Friends,
I would like to share with you how the SOJMP came to be. On September 30, 1994, the Lord placed on my heart to establish and form a religious order of women.
On April 16, 2019, Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron gave his approval and blessing for the women interested in discerning their call to begin living in community at the Divine Mercy Center. May 13, 2019 marked the inception of The Sisters of Jesus’ Merciful Passion (SOJMP) and this call from the heart of Jesus became a reality.
The Archbishop commented, “it is a gift to have them [The Sister of Jesus’ Merciful Passion] present in the Archdiocese of Detroit, and I am fully aware of the many lives that have come to know our Merciful Lord through the ministry of The Shrine of Jesus the Divine Mercy over these years. I am confident this movement will take on a renewed energy through the recent formation of The Sister of Jesus’ Merciful Passion.”
I am so grateful to the Lord for all the good He is bestowing on this community. Please pray for these women, and pray for more vocations to the religious life – that more women will heed the call of the Lord to give their lives in service to Him and His Kingdom!
Sincerely,
Catherine M. Lanni
