Mercy Focus on Haiti is a ministry of the
Sisters of Mercy of the Americas.

Mission

Passionate for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and witnessing to the legacy of Catherine McAuley, Mercy Focus on Haiti members are led to service and solidarity with people who are materially poor, especially those living in Haiti. We partner with the Haitian people to meet their unmet needs and we collaborate with like-minded organizations.

10 years in Haiti and counting!

In Our Donors’ Words…

“Participating in the medical mission trip not only allowed me the privilege of seeing the Sisters of Mercy in action, a group of women deeply skilled in their own individual crafts united by their passion for serving wherever called, it brought the entire legacy of the Sisters of Mercy to light for me.”
– Thomas Cook, PhD. Mercyhurst University, Erie, PA

“I was overwhelmed by the sheer poverty in Haiti and the lack of governmental services. Mercy Focus on Haiti has a ground-up, locally partnered approach to Haitian Needs. This approach is key to everything”
– Aimee C. Gomlak, Buffalo, NY

“The CLM program doesn’t just provide economic opportunity to the ultra-poor, but most importantly gives dignity to the women and their families that participate in the program.”
