Mercy Moment
Our Mercy Moment is designed as a short pause for thought or moment of reflection each day.
Opening Doors is a comprehensive initiative that aims to develop relevant and meaningful in-person formation experiences and online formation resources for the Mercy global world. It is a collaborative effort that unites us all in our shared mission of Mercy, making each one of us an integral part of this journey.
)
Opening Doors is part of our response to the challenges facing Mercy today. It is more than just a project; it symbolises openness, welcome, hospitality, networking, collaboration, and the sharing of Catherine’s legacy of Mercy.

Catherine McAuley was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1778. In 1824 she used her inheritance from an Irish couple she had served for twenty years to build a large House of Mercy which opened in 1827.

Mercy heritage is about remembering and honouring what has gone before us. It is also about preserving the story of Mercy. We do this to nourish what is in us so that we are inspired to go forward in mission.

The Mercy Justice Advocacy Approach is a framework used by the global Mercy community to guide advocacy efforts. The Approach is grounded in the values of the Sisters of Mercy, which include compassion, justice, and respect for the inherent dignity of people and earth.
