Transformative Year 2023-2024
This slideshow gathers the blessings from a transformative year at Mercy by the Sea, reflecting the collective effort of those who share our vision: “To nurture a relationship with the Sacred in self, others, and creation that seeks to foster a just and compassionate world.” Rooted in the founding spirit of the Sisters of Mercy, exemplified by Catherine McAuley, our 52 years of Mercy hospitality have embodied the essence of contemplation and action. As you explore this report, you’ll see the continued dedication to the Mercy mission through our programs, facility enhancements, and the commitment of our staff, board, donors, volunteers, and our sponsors, the Sisters of Mercy. In a time of fewer centers for spiritual restoration, our commitment to nurturing this sacred space remains unwavering. We’ve strengthened our organizational systems, embraced anti-racism work, and deepened mission integration to address today’s needs and prepare for the future. As we embark on a new strategic planning process, we are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for this sacred ministry.
