Mercy Day
The Sisters of Mercy have had a presence in Italy for most of the last three decades.
As the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy approaches, we invite Sisters of Mercy and friends world-wide to join us in praying a novena, to begin on September 16.
On this Mercy Day we gather to praise our God and to give thanks for all the blessings that we have received throughout our Mercy year that has just ended. We pray that we will use the Mercy year which we begin today with new enthusiasm and vision....
