Orientation to Mercy

The Orientation to Mercy program is designed for staff new to the Institute of Sisters of Mercy of Australia and Papua New Guinea (ISMAPNG) and its ministries, and staff who have not had the opportunity for orientation to the mercy charism as yet in their role. Staff of schools with a Mercy heritage are most welcome to participate.

Previously offered as a full-day face-to-face seminar, the Orientation program is now offered as a series of 7 self-paced Modules, with each Module taking 30 – 40 minutes. The following online resources are provided:
