What makes Sisters of Mercy different from other sisters?

All congregations of sisters share certain characteristics: they strive to live simply; they are celibate (do not marry); they give up the right to make decisions independently of their community; they choose prayer and contemplation as a significant part of every day; they engage in work (they call it ministry) that addresses the needs of other people.
