• We have one solid comfort amidst this little tripping about, our hearts can always be in the same place, centered in God, for whom alone we go forward or stay back.

Just as Catherine McAuley reached out to the poor in Dublin, the Sisters of Mercy minister to those around the world who are economically poor, sick and uneducated. Many people know the sisters for their work in healthcare and education. While these ministries continue today, our sisters are found serving members of a parish through religious education, working for justice in prison ministry or walking in solidarity with immigrants. No matter the ministry, Sisters of Mercy strive to meet unmet needs, bringing God's love and mercy to those who need it most.
