A glimpse of how Mercy may look in the future came when Congregation Leader Katrina Fabish spoke at last month’s Hui Taumata Mercy Leaders Summit in Auckland. Her ministerial PJP Update came towards the end of the day-long event, attended by more than 100 Sisters of Mercy and partners in ministry.

She began by endorsing an earlier comment from Hui keynote presenter Mary Sullivan rsm that Catherine McAuley is present whenever Mercy people gather together with faith in God to face the future. “Catherine is indeed with us, because we are doing a new thing.”
