Animated by the Gospel and Catherine McAuley's passion for the poor, we, Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, are impelled to commit our lives and resources to act in solidarity with the economically poor of the world, especially women and children; women seeking fullness of life and equality in church and society and one another as we embrace our multi-cultural and international reality...
The Sisters of Mercy of the Americas are an international community of Roman Catholic women vowed to serve people who suffer poverty, sickness, and ignorance, with a special concern for women and children. In innovative and traditional ways they address human needs through collaborative efforts in education, healthcare, housing, and pastoral and social service.
The Sisters of Mercy have served in education, healthcare and social service ministries in the United States, Latin and Central America since the mid-nineteenth century.
Today, more than 3,000 Sisters of Mercy of the Americas make a difference in the lives of others in the United States, Latin America, Jamaica, Guam and the Philippines.

We serve with more than 3,100 Mercy Associates, several Companions in Mercy, more than 960 Mercy Volunteer Corps alumni and thousands of co-workers in Mercy-sponsored programs and institutions – all sharing in the Mercy mission - and following the example of Catherine McAuley. We sponsor and operate more than 200 service organizations in collaboration with tens of thousands of committed co-ministers, staff and volunteers.
