MercyWorks
My MercyWorks year provided me with a unique opportunity to grow in my faith, live in community, and develop my professional skills, while also exploring social justice issues that tie the whole program together. Being a part of a team that worked for change and was a source of hope was a great way for me to step into the real world.

The MercyWorks program began in 2001 with 7 volunteers and has since grown into a program that currently accepts 14 volunteers each year and boasts an outstanding alumni network of 70 former volunteers.
Over the years, MercyWorks has succeeded in attracting highly educated and motivated men and women to the mission of Mercy. The MercyWorks program offers another means of building community within the Home and members of the MercyWorks community provide an additional source of enthusiasm, motivation and spiritual grounding to the children and the staff of the Home.
