I used to attend Mass here and Saturday confessions. Lovely grounds and miss the beautiful little choir and great homilies. You can't adjudicate your own messages/interlocutions. Holy Mother Church must. It was given the power to bind/unbind. I pray this schism may be resolved. I want to return

The Mission of Divine Mercy is more true to the faith than the Vatican! Last Spring, I spent 3 days at the Mission as a self retreat. I made several pilgrimages to Rome, the Vatican and various holy sites around Europe, including Fatima, Assisi, and Lourdes. The feeling I experienced of a Holy presence is stronger at the Mission than what I felt at the other sites. When I walked up the New Tepeyac Hill, it was like I felt the breath of God in the wind. I've never experienced anything like that. I felt I was standing on hallowed ground. The Mission of Divine Mercy is real. This is truly a Holy Site. Should you decide to visit the Mission, please be reverent. This is a very special place.

I am well aware of the situation MDM is facing with the Archdiocese at the moment, and it is extremely sad. However, I 100% back the Mission for a few reasons. I attended retreats here in 2018 and have visited on various occasions since then. I have had conversations with the sisters and brothers at the Mission, and I say they are completely normal and humble people. Never once have I heard them criticize the Archdiocese or Bishop despite never receiving financial support from the Archdiocese, receiving little acknowledgement or attention in the past several years when previously bringing previous prophetic words to the archdiocese, and now disciplined very strongly since February. Furthermore, I have NEVER felt the presence of God anywhere as STRONGLY as in the Mission of Divine Mercy and I always have a desire to stay longer.❤️ My joy and clarity is incredibly strong when I visit for Mass or prayer. Good fruit does not grow on thorns bushes, and I'm not convinced that they are a rebellious and disobedient group as they have been seen by so many people. I encourage those who are interested in going, but feeling torn by the controversy surrounding the Mission, to go to their website and research their history and the current situation with the Archdiocese. Take your concerns to the Lord in prayer and be open to what He says to you. Visit the Mission to get a feel of the place. I have received many graces in each visit and encounter with the Mission and it's members and look forward to visiting and praying here more! Jesus, I trust in you! Jesus, Mary, I love you, save souls!🙏

I would please be careful of this place and stay away. They have been stripped of their Catholic title and aren't associated with the Catholic Church anymore. I myself have been there multiple times before the schism, and I was also deceived until I was brought to the truth. Whether you like the Pope or not, no one has the authority to say he's a "usurper" or say he's "heretical." That strictly goes against Church teaching. I have read what this nun claims to be hearing/seeing, but as sincere as she comes off, I don't think she is seeing/hearing something holy. Many saints were also deceived by the devil, but they had discernment and humbled themselves to tell the difference. I don't believe this place has those virtues, unfortunately. Also, it doesn't make sense to me that they would stop confessions, but still continue to have Masses. How can people receive the Eucharist properly if they don't have access to confession? Granted people can go to an actual Catholic Church and receive the sacrament, but still, that doesn't seem logical. Please discern and follow the Catholic Church and her teachings. We can have opinions, but we are not better or smarter than the Church Christ left us. I hope this place comes back to the truth... Viva Cristo Rey! ✝️

I read the documents published in their website. They are not in union with the Holy Father and the Church of San Antonio.

A place where Our Lord is always present. So peaceful and serene. The mass is reverend and Father John Mary stands towards the East . AD ORIENTUM. The voices of the choir are heavenly. I experience the presence of the Holy Spirit as soon as I enter the grounds . I truly believe that Lord's graces flow from the hills at this mission. I will keep the mission and Father John Mary in prayer.

True Catholic Mission🙏🏻 God bless and protect Father John Mary Foster , Sr Amapola and all other of this mission, so that they may stand strong beside our Lord Jesus Christ and our mother Mary. Please dear Lord protect them from the wolves in sheep’s clothing!🙏🏻 Blessings from Austria

We do Easter here every year. Actually the Tritium every year. We love going to the Mission. Very beautiful place of worship. Also very Catholic and many parts of the Mass are in Latin. The reverend here and the people make this a place you will want to come back to. If you have ever visit the Hill Country here near Canyon Lake you need to visit the Mission of Divine Mercy. So Serene a place.

I have visited the Mission of Divine Mercy many times since 2007 and can attest to the piety and sanctity of the community. If the messages they are receiving are Divinely inspired or from the deceiver has no impact on my confidence of the depth of their love for God and that they are trying to do God’s will. May the Beloved guide them into the fulfillment of His will for them.
