Animated by the Gospel and Catherine McAuley’s passion for the poor, we, the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, are impelled to commit our lives and resources to act in solidarity with: -
the economically poor of the world, especially women and children;
women seeking fullness of life and equality in church and society;
one another as we embrace our multicultural and international reality.

This commitment will impel us to: -
develop and act from a multicultural, international perspective;
speak with a corporate voice;
work for systemic change;
act in harmony and interdependence with all creation; 
and call ourselves to continual conversion in our lifestyle and ministries.
