Mission Statement
Mercy Works Inc. supports the local and overseas relief and development activities that are part of the vision and mission of the Institute of Sisters of Mercy of Australia.
The programmes engage in partnerships with communities to promote justice, self reliance and to support displaced people and communities who are denied access to basic resources such as education, health care and social welfare.
Mercy Works Inc. programmes strongly endorse the principles of freedom, mutual respect, participation and protection of the rights and responsibilities of all.
Direction 2008-2010
In Australia, Mercy Works Inc. offers community education in world development concerns, provides assistance with refugees, and works in partnership with Indigenous peoples.
Overseas, the primary focus is in the Asia-Pacific region, where, in collaboration with local partners, Mercy Works Inc. directs its efforts towards the education, health care, and social and spiritual well-being of those who are poor or displaced.
About the Institute of Sisters of Mercy of Australia
The Institute of Sisters of Mercy of Australia is a community of Catholic women religious, about 1,500 in number, dedicated to serving people who suffer from injustices related to poverty, sickness or lack of education. Their inspiration is drawn from Catherine McAuley, who founded the Sisters of Mercy in Ireland in 1831. Catherine responded to the needs of those who were marginalised and oppressed by unjust social attitudes and practices of the day. Find out more.
