PREACHERS OF DIVINE MERCY (PDM)
Motivated by the love of Jesus, the Preachers of Divine Mercy Monastery (for men) voluntarily accept rough living conditions by abandoning the comforts of this world, giving up even what is permitted by law in all areas of life, such as food, lodging, clothing, travel, and living a life of asceticism for the sanctification of the consecrated communities that God willed through our spiritual directors. Thus, the Lord laid the foundation for the ascetic way of life for their empowerment. It is the call of ASJM and PDM to lead a life of contemplation and evangelization and to always raise intercessory prayers for the Church and the entire world.
On 24 April 2018, His Excellency Bishop Mar Jacob Manathodath issued a decree establishing the community of brothers as a Pious Union to become a monastery in the future, and then on 30 May 2021, with the permission of His Beatitude Cardinal Major Archbishop Mar George Alencherry, His Excellency Mar Jacob Manathodath issued a decree elevating PDM as a monastery in the Syro-Malabar Church. Today, apart from Attappadi, PDM has started other houses in Kuravilangad, Thrissur, and in Austin and Atlanta as well.
