Critical Concerns of the Sisters of Mercy - resources

New Resource - At the 2005 Institute Chapter of the Sisters of Mercy,
the delegates affirmed an intensified effort to address the critical
concerns of our time. Depicted in the symbol to the right:

Immigration - A path and traveling feet depict the migrant journey. Poverty - underlying cause
Earth - The globe symbolizes our commitment to preserving the
environment.
Identity: A fingerprint denotes our focus on who we are.
Non-Violence - The dove and olive branch are a familiar reminder of
our commitment to peace.
Women - A dancing figure evokes a joyful spirit of women and the
feminine.
Racism - Interlocking hands indicate the effort to achieve racial
awareness and harmony.

In the 2007 May-June issue of ¡Viva! Mercy and in two subsequent
issues July-August and Sept-October, a special insert was devoted to
these concerns.

They are beautifully done and are an excellent resource for Mercy
schools. With permission from the Institute office they are available
