Allan Weilert is a native of Wichita, Kansas. He founded the Servants of Divine Mercy in 2001, with the approval of his spiritual director and pastor. Allan is grateful for the initial encouragement and support of Bishop Sam G. Jacobs of Houma-Thibodaux, Louisiana.Pope John Paul II promised to pray for the Servants of Divine Mercy when Allan met him in Rome, June 2002.

Formerly a Franciscan brother, Allan worked as Co-director of Healing Ministry of the Franciscan School of Evangelization in Southfield, Michigan. He trained hundreds of laity in the principles of healing prayer and has held healing services around the United States and abroad. In addition, he launched Catholics United for the Poor, a non-profit fundraising organization assisting urban ministries among the poor of Cincinnati, Ohio. Allan also designed and implemented a parish-based adult spirituality program, the Spiritual Life Center, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Galveston, Texas. Allan also organized a praise and worship band, "Parousia," which played in the Detroit area.

Dr. Weilert’s educational background includes an undergraduate degree in English from Mercy College of Detroit(now a division of the University of Detroit), a masters in theological studies from Catholic Theological Union, Chicago, and a doctor of chiropractic degree from Texas Chiropractic College.

Allan has personally experienced the adventure and mystery of suffering. In 1989, he contracted Guillain-Barre Syndrome while brushing up on his Spanish in Guadalajara. After four months on a ventilator and five months in-patient rehabilitation in the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston , Allan continued physical and occupational therapy on an out-patient basis. Two years later, he began walking again thanks to his expert therapists and chiropractor. Allan cringes at the word ”disabled,” since the Lord has taught him through this process that we are precious to the Lord not because of what we can accomplish for Him, but rather just because we are.

Allan serves as a cantor, extraordinary eucharistic minister, and helps with adult religious education in the parish actively involved in Catholic charismatic renewal since 1974, Allan has conducted healing services in Latin America and Europe. He has worn many ministerial hats such as prayer group leader, healing ministry co-ordinator, music minister, and intercessor. Allan has directed numerous pilgrimages to shrines in Latin America and Europe.
