When Catholics hear the word “excommunication,” it can sound frightening. It may conjure up images of someone being expelled from the Church, condemned by the Pope, and told that they can never return because they're going to hell.

Then learn about the Marian Fathers’ Mission Bible Center in Rwanda, where the message of Divine Mercy is helping form hearts and faith, and forgiveness and hope, bringing people together through the healing love of Christ.
