Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception: A Community Dedicated to Mary and the Poor Souls

In this video, we learn about the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, a fraternal community of consecrated life that has as its prime purpose the proclamation of devotion to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We hear from Father Joseph Roesch, the Superior General, about the founder’s desire to make the mystery of the Immaculate Conception more well-known in the world. We also learn about the congregation’s dedication to praying for the poor souls and their active service to the Church. With over 500 priests and brothers laboring in 19 countries, including the United States, Argentina, and Poland, the Marian Congregation continues to spread God’s message of love and salvation.
