Catherine McAuley Services Limited

Catherine McAuley Services forwards the mission of Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of Australia and Papua New Guinea in the geographical context of Papua New Guinea enabling the flourishing of program ministries now and into the future.

Catherine McAuley Services exist so that:

• Collaborative partnerships facilitate identified ministry activities in Papua New Guinea which respond to care of the earth and care of its people.

• Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of Australia and Papua New Guinea experiences, learns from and welcomes the gift of diversity particularly in relation to the Melanesian culture.

Acknowledging and respecting the Melanesian culture of Papua New Guinea in which we work, our values are: Integrity, hospitality, respect for all and collaboration.
