      History

      The Congregation of Sisters of the Merciful Jesus was founded in 1947 by Fr. Michael Sopocko as the answer for the apparition of Jesus Christ, who ordered St. Faustina among other things, to found the new religious community. The Sisters first established themselves in 1996 in Edmonton and were closely associated with the Madonna House Apostolate. In 1999 they moved to Hobbema to assist in pastoral ministry at Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Parish.
