BROTHERS OF MERCY OF MARY HELP OF CHRISTIANS (Trier). - The servant of God Peter Friedhofen founded in 1851 at Weitaberg, near Koblenz, an institute of lay religious for the care of the sick, including those with contagious diseases. The work soon attracted many vocations and the Institute spread throughout Germany and all of Europe.

On 27 May 1905 the Holy See granted the decree of praise; while the constitutions, approved provisionally in 1910, were adapted to the Code and definitively approved on 29 Apr. 1916. In 1935 the Institute applied to the Holy See to be named Congregation of the F. of the M. of M. A.

At present it has 35 houses with more than 500 professed religious.
