The Missionaries of God's Love (MGL) is a Roman Catholic religious congregation that came into being in Canberra, Australia in 1986.
It was founded by Fr Ken Barker who is the moderator of the congregation and is also the founder of the Young Men of God Movement.
Its first mission is to the Church in Australia which the congregation believes is suffering from the emptiness of secularism and relativism with a particular concern to reach the young and the alienated who do not yet know the love of God.
[6] There are also 19 Sisters living in Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne involved with the young people in evangelisation and mission work in many of the same areas as the Priests and Brothers.
In 2014 the order of Priests and Brothers was formally recognised by the Vatican as a religious institute of diocesan rite.
