Mercy Volunteer Corps
Rooted in the spirit of the Scriptures and Catherine McAuley and challenged by the needs of a world in a new millennium, Mercy Volunteer Corps, committed to achieving a more merciful and just world, invites women and men to join with the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas to:
• expand the boundaries of service to poor, sick, and uneducated persons within and beyond the U.S.;
• encourage multicultural diversity within the Mercy Volunteer Corps community and among the people served;
• participate in building community with poor persons and the other ministers of service at the service sites;
• embrace the growth inherent in the conversion process of acting in solidarity with economically poor or marginalized people;
• integrate the learned values of service, community, and prayer into their life experience; and
• develop new relationships with the Mercy community throughout and beyond their service year(s).
