Year of Mercy - 2016
Editor: Throughout 2016 we have been fortunate to publish the long-form writing of many of our Mercy authors. Some of these articles originated as presentations for different audiences; others were originally published elsewhere; the remainder were written for Mercy eNews at our invitation.

We are grateful to: Srs Mary C. Sullivan (Americas), Mary Reynolds (MIA), Cheryl Camp (ISMAPNG), Elizabeth Julian (ANZ), Mary Wickham (ISMAPNG), Helena O'Donoghue (The Congregation), Elizabeth Dowling (ISMAPNG), Marie Farrell (ISMAPNG), Margaret A. Farley (Americas), Sheila Carney (Americas), Brenda Dolphin (The Congregation), Marilyn Sunderman (Americas). Their articles have resonated, nourished, inspired and challenged us over the course of 2016 as we sought to address ‘the cry of the Earth and the cry of the Poor’ in this Jubilee Year of Mercy.
Articles translated into Spanish and/or provided in both A4 Paper size and US Letter size appear under the author's individual listing below where these are available.
