Introducing
the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas - West Midwest
Community
The Sisters of
Mercy from California to Michigan have formed a new
community.
On July 1, 2008,
the Mercy regional communities of Auburn, California;
Burlingame, California; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Chicago,
Illinois; Detroit, Michigan; and Omaha, Nebraska, joined
together to become the
Sisters of Mercy of the Americas -
West Midwest Community.
While our primary
administrative site for the community is in Omaha,
Nebraska, we will continue to live and maintain an active
presence in our local areas, serving in 32 states and four
countries. The sisters you know and the ministries
you care about will continue to evolve in response to need
and opportunity as they have in the past.
With the caring
support of people like you, we have continued to share
mercy, bringing light and life where there was little or
none. Our name has changed but our mission remains the
same. We thank you for your continued support.
