About Mercy International Association

Mercy International Association (MIA) is an organization based in Dublin, Ireland, founded in 1992 to serve the Sisters of Mercy and their ministries worldwide.

Mercy has a long history of serving poor and vulnerable people through founding and running schools and hospitals in towns, cities, and villages throughout Ireland and in forty-six countries around the world. Mercy International Association mobilises this network of expertise and resources to address the root causes of poverty, dislocation, and environmental damage. This work keeps alive the spirit of Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy.

We work through advocacy at our desk in the United Nations, through leadership and Formation programmes and through direct action at times of urgent need.

A key part of our work in the Centre – where Catherine McAuley founded the first Mercy House – is to sustain Catherine’s legacy in Justice, Mercy and Charity for the coming generations.

In Dublin, the work of MIA encompasses Heritage and Programmes, Archival and Research work, and promotion of Mercy spirituality. Through its Mercy Global Action office in New York,

MIA leads its Mercy global justice ministry. In both locations MIA has structures and systems that underpin our Opening Doors way of working. Through international gatherings and activities, MIA supports the Mercy World in sustaining global communication, formation in Mercy, developing compassionate leadership in young people, and taking action for justice.

MIA supports the cause for Canonization of Catherine McAuley.
