The Sisters of Mercy are called to help alleviate the growing suffering of our brothers and sisters from around the world, particularly those who are poor, ill, oppressed, or uneducated. We realize we must be involved with their suffering and embrace our call to personal conversion as we work with others to convert our own suppressive behaviors and unjust ways of doing things.

It is through the tradition of our foundress Catherine McAuley that we draw the motivation to empower others to live lives of dignity. We also look to the example of Jesus who offered help to all those in need.

It is our mission to facilitate access to information and help services, collaborating with other justice organizations, mobilizing for public awareness and corporate voice, and making the tools to achieving equality and dignity available to all.

The Sisters have identified five areas of emphasis: earth, immigration, non-violence, racism, and women’s issues. A justice team has been formed to address these areas.
