The Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy (Congregatio Sororum Beatae Mariae Misericordiae (lat)), (Zgromadzenie Sióstr Matki Bożej Miłosierdzia (pol)) - was founded by Mother Teresa Eva Potocka (1814–1881) in Warsaw, Poland on November 1, 1862. This was the first "Mercy House". The order uses the abbreviation O.L.M.[1]
Mother Teresa Ewa, née Countess Potocka of the Sułkowska (family) princes, after eight months of practice in the House of Mercy in the Laval (France) returned to Poland and – at the invitation of Archbishop Zygmunt Szczesny Feliński – took over the shelter (Dom Schronieniapol) in Warsaw for girls failed morally. November 1, 1862 Archbishop Feliński dedicated a chapel and a house for girls. That date was adopted as the date of creation 'the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy' in Poland. In 1878 there was a connection to the assembly on the Laval and obtaining a decree authorizing the activities of the Papal Order. The order has been self-sufficient since 1922.
In communist times, the 1962 Polish government nationalized operations conducted by the congregation.
