We understand that foremost in the minds of those responsible for ministries at governance and management level is the need for ongoing formation, ensuring that board members and managers are leaders in Mercy and the charism of Catherine McAuley.

We encourage a commitment to following best practice for all of those in a governance tole in Mercy organisations.

The formation resources we have here will assist you in nurturing the tradition of Mercy, founded in God’s mercy and faithful to the tradition of Catherine McAuley. We hope they will also inspire you new understandings of the mission of Mercy and foster shared thinking and shared learnings among Mercy entities around the world.

We have a suite of resources from our own website and from the wider Mercy World. We are grateful to all our contributors.
