Service - The Congregation, formed in 1831, to execute the Works of Mercy, is just as relevant today as Sisters continue to respond to current needs.

"We ought then to have great confidence in God in the discharge of all these offices of mercy,spiritual and corporal - which constitute the business of our lives."

Catherine McAuley 

"What a consolation to serve Jesus Christ Himself in the person of the poor, and to walk the very same path He trod!"

Prayer - Mercy apostolic life is rooted in prayer. 

Time is given each day to personal and communal prayer, including the reciatal of certain hours of the Divine Office.

"Their whole life should be a continual act of praise and prayer."
