Our Community 

We are about 500 sisters and 400 associates from Buffalo, Erie, the Philippines,  Pittsburgh and Rochester who continue the legacy of Catherine McAuley, who founded  the Sisters of Mercy in Dublin, Ireland, in 1831. 

One of six communities in the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, the Community performs a variety of ministries ranging from education, health and housing to establishing Houses of Mercy in impoverished neighborhoods and meeting spiritual needs.

Like Catherine, we respond to the signs of the times by committing their lives nd resources to work for systemic change in issues such as empowering women, helping immigrants, advocating anti-racism and non-violence and caring for the Earth and natural resources.

You can help further our mission by becoming a sister, associate, or making a donation to our life-giving ministries.
