The advocacy efforts of the Sisters of Mercy Health System (Mercy) continue our commitment to embody God’s mercy and justice in the world. In partnership with others who share this commitment to social action, we aim to be an increasingly effective voice for the economically poor and the underserved, and to help them raise their own voices in seeking justice and mercy. This means strengthening the whole community by helping those who are most vulnerable.
