Our Lady's Missionaries was founded in 1949, in Alexandria, Ontario, Canada under the direction of Msgr. Dan R. MacDonald (picture above). In 1959 the group relocated to Toronto. OLM receive members universally, who participate fully in the life and mission of the Congregation and the Church.

The first mission was opened in 1956 when four sisters went to Japan. In 1957 another mission was opened in Nigeria. As requests came from various countries, missions were opened in Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil, Guyana and England. Short term support work has also been provided in Vietnam, Thailand, Mozambique, the Canadian North and East Timor.
