Divine Mercy was created to help assure that Catholics and their families receive sustenance in their faith at a time when the dying family member is as close to God as he or she will ever be while still here on earth.

Our role in caring for terminally ill individuals is very specific and consistent with the laws of of the Catholic Church, but our services remain available for persons of any religious belief.

To this end, we strictly adhere to the Catholic Standard of Care™.
