Inaugural Mercy Communications Café gathering takes place

Our first gathering of the Mercy Communications Café took place online on 5 February 2025.

More than 70 participants from across the Mercy World logged on to be part of our conversation and to hear from guest speaker Brother Richard Hendrick Ofm Cap. Richard spoke about communicating hope. There was a very engaged discussion after his keynote address from the participants which included those working in communications roles in Mercy organisations and Sisters of Mercy with the comms brief.
