The Sisters of Mercy from California to Michigan have begun a new Mercy moment. The six former regional communities are now the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas-West Midwest. While the West Midwest Community central administrative center is in Omaha, Nebraska, sisters and associates continue their ministries in their respective geographical areas. We serve in 32 states and four countries.




Sister René Bourque has much to celebrate this year, her 60th jubilee. Her earliest goals were to be a teacher and to be a nun, following happy examples of both in her family.
