Mercy Mission

Our Mission Statement begins with the following words " This is the time when, centred in the God of Mercy, we will engage with the questions and struggles of our time. Conscious of the interconnectedness of all life, together we will refocus our Mercy Mission, commiting our lives and resources to the alleviation of extreme poverty in all its forms, acting collaboratively at local and global levels".
