Following three years of conversation, collaboration and planning, the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas agreed in May 2004 to reconfigure the existing structure of 25 regional communities consisting of at the time more than 4,000 Sisters and about 3,000 Associates as six Communities.

This reconfiguration allows us to better focus our lives and mission as we develop strategies for combining and using resources to better serve persons suffering from poverty, lack of education and insufficient healthcare by advocating for just and sustainable development throughout the world and enhancing relationships among diverse cultures and countries.
