Our Work

Mercy for Justice

Animated by the Gospel, and the life of Catherine McAuley, we are committed to action. We dedicate ourselves to serving people who are made poor and to addressing the root causes of systemic injustices.

Earth

We work toward the sustainability of all life by caring for Earth’s ecosystems, addressing global climate change, and advocating for the fundamental right to clean water.

Our Work

Immigration

We act in solidarity with immigrants, refugees, and victims of human trafficking, seeking with them a more just and inclusive world.

Our Work

Nonviolence

We work to improve our personal practice of nonviolence and peacemaking, to collaborate with organizations that foster peace, and to change violent systems and structures.

Our Work

Racism

We work to become an anti-racist multicultural community because we believe racism is an evil affecting us all.

Our Work

Women

We give special attention to women’s education, health, and spirituality through our legislative advocacy, our schools, healthcare institutions, and spirituality centers.

Take Action Today

Mercy Critical Concerns

We were founded out of a deep concern for people who are poor. Today, that commitment focuses on five Critical Concerns:

Earth – Immigration – Nonviolence – Racism – Women

Hearing the cry of our suffering world, we respond to the impoverishment of peoples, the devastation of Earth and oppressive social systems by focusing on our Critical Concerns and the interconnections among them. We show our commitment to these concerns through personal transformation, community choices, educational outreach, legislative advocacy, corporate engagement and spiritual practices.
