Our church’s deep roots in the Faribault community date to 1847 through the parishes of St. Lawrence, Sacred Heart, and Immaculate Conception. The three combined into the new church of Divine Mercy in 2002. Our school, dating to 1860, became Divine Mercy Catholic School in 2006. 

That year, our New Beginnings capital campaign launched to build new facilities on a donated 40-acre site. This resulted in our new church's dedication in 2009.
