The Preachers of Divine Mercy (PDM) is a community dedicated to spreading the message of divine mercy and love. Founded with the mission to inspire and uplift through spiritual teachings, PDM organizes events, retreats, and media outreach to connect with people worldwide. Our channels, including Ruha Mount Monastery and Sehion Retreat Centre, provide resources for prayer, reflection, and community engagement.
Sehion Retreat Centre was inaugurated on 28th April 1998. Since then, the Spirit of the Lord brought forth many powerful ministries of the Kingdom of God from Attapady. From Sehion Retreat Centre, the Lord raised up weekly retreats, retreats for children, youth retreats, parish retreats, home-missions, television ministry, Maranatha Book Centre, Sehion Kalkurishu Mala ministries, Abhishekagni conventions attended by tens of thousands, retreats for priests which commenced from 2009 onwards and yearly retreats for seminarians and deacons, retreats for religious sisters and leaflet ministries. Along with this, the Lord also began a lay missionary movement called Anointing Fire Catholic Ministries (AFCM), First Friday conventions at Sehion Retreat Centre and so much more! Amidst all this, the Lord revealed His will to Bishop Jacob Manathodath, Fr Xavier Khan Vattayil, Fr Binoy Karimaruthinkal and Sr Amy Emmanuel ASJM to establish a monastery of priests and sisters for world evangelisation.
