MERCY INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Mercy International Association is a Dublin-based global network that nurtures the spiritual and social legacy of Venerable Catherine McAuley. The organisation brings together Mercy families from around the world through a blend of pilgrimages, retreats, prayer initiatives and advocacy work, all aimed at living out the Mercy story in today's society.

Key programmes include the Young Mercy Leaders (YML) immersion pilgrimage for young people, the online "Walking in Mercy" Lenten retreat, and a range of prayer-petition services that invite individuals to seek Catherine McAuley's intercession. Through its Opening Doors consultancy, Mercy International helps members become more actively involved in the Association, while Mercy Global Action tackles three priority justice issues each year - environmental degradation, displacement of persons and women's leadership - providing educational resources and advocating for just policies at the United Nations.

With its historic Mercy International Centre serving as the spiritual hub, the Association offers daily "Mercy Moments" for reflection and a vibrant podcast series, fostering a sense of community and purpose for believers and social-justice advocates alike.
