Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy

Chapter Statement

THIS IS THE TIME WHEN….
Centred in the God of Mercy
WE WILL
Engage with the questions and struggles of our time.
Conscious of the interconnectedness of all life
Together we will
REFOCUS OUR MERCY MISSION
Committing our lives and resources
to the alleviation of EXTREME POVERTY in all its forms,
Acting collaboratively
At LOCAL AND GLOBAL LEVELS.
AND SO WE ASK…

• How will we be faithful to this focus?
• How will we engage with others around the questions and struggles of our time?
• How will we share generously the resources we hold in trust?
• How will we deepen our awareness of the interconnectedness of all life?
• How will we invite and support new life?
• How will we encourage each other in community for mission?
• How will we nurture the hunger for God?

HOW WILL THIS CHANGE MY LIFE?

About Us

The Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy (Ireland) was formed in 1994. At that time 26 separate units of the Mercy family in Ireland, (with a tradition of being autonomous at diocesan level) and the Sisters of Mercy in South Africa came together to form one Congregation in order to be more effective in Mercy mission. The Congregation consists of seven provinces, three regions and two mission areas. At present we have 2,660 members with communities in Brazil, Britain, British Columbia, Ireland, Kenya, Nigeria, Peru, South Africa, United States and Zambia.
