Our Lady of Mercy (OLM) is a large and beautiful Church that includes a prayer chapel (with relics of Saint John Paul II), a retreat house, and visitor accommodation.

On February 16, 1974, OLM had the honor of having the late King of Thailand himself, His Majesty Bhumibol Adulyadej, preside over the opening ceremony of the church. Since then, the Our Lady of Mercy functioned as a subsidiary Church of St. Francis Xavier Parish in Bangkok, and then as an independent parish in 1986.

OLM has a vibrant Thai Catholic congregation and has welcomed the English community by sharing a number of international Masses together.

Father Daniele Mazza is our wonderful Pastor who belongs to the PIME (Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions) community of apostolic life. This is reflected in the role OLM takes by hosting missionary families and priests as they study and prepare for missions in Northern Thailand.

OLM has several charitable and social activities. Some projects are operated under the St. Martin Foundation which includes the "Homes for Hope" project, caring for 70+ underprivileged children. OLM has a close relationship with the adjacent home for disabled children, “Home for Angels”, which welcomes visitors any time to come and visit the Thai children and families who live there. These social and charitable works are run with the help and cooperation from the parish family people of OLM.

Thanks to Father Daniele, our parish priests and volunteers, OLM provides on-going faith formation and prayer for all ages. You will find many of our parishioners participate in our Mass, our youth in altar serving and music ministry. Our priests are always available for spiritual direction and counseling.

Current community outreach projects include prison visits, Angles Home and Home for Hope orphanage, annual Christmas Giving Tree and supporting charity fundraisers such as, Bike for Mom, Bike for Dad, and The Lenten Diaper Drive.
