Mercedarian Friars USA

The Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy or Mercedarians was founded in 1218 in Barcelona, Spain. They were founded to ransom captive Christians in danger of losing their faith. They take a 4th vow to be willing to offer their own lives if necessary to free those captive Christians. This Channel is hosted by the Mercedarian Friars in the United States of America to encourage, support, educate, and share our Mercedarian Redemptive Charism with the world.
