The Preachers of Divine Mercy (PDM) was erected by Mar Jacob Manathodath (bishop emeritus of Palghat Diocese), as a clerical pious union on 24th April 2018, jointly founded alongside Fr Xavier Khan Vattayil PDM, Fr Binoy Karimaruthinkal PDM and Sr Amy Emmanuel ASJM. The formation of the initial candidates began on 28th April 2018. The first house for the pious union was installed at PDM Hills on the 4th of December 2018, which initiated the further development of the seminary for the formation of various batches. The seminary was blessed on the 15th of October 2020 by Bishop Jacob Manathodath, along with the vestition of the first batch of seminarians.

At present, we are 56 in number (including candidates), among these, there are 3 solemnly professed priests and 10 temporarily professed members. Those who have done their first profession are pursuing their Major Seminary studies at Vadavathoor Seminary, Kottayam and Mary Matha Seminary, Thrissur. They stay in PDM study houses located near to the seminaries.
