New Spirit Wear Coming Soon!
We loved seeing everyone represent Divine Mercy in style this year. Stay tuned for our brand new 2027 apparel collection, launching next summer!
Our Legacy
A History of Faith
The Catholic Church in Faribault was established in 1856. The small congregation of the church of St. Ann's came first, which later burned down and was re-built as Immaculate Conception Parish. St. Lawrence came next, followed by Sacred Heart.
The churches grew, schools were built, changes came and now we are consolidated as one: Divine Mercy Catholic Church and School. Our annual celebrations honor the history and the many ministries in this parish.
