The Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma formed in 1973 “in response to the renewal called for in the Second Vatican Council,” RSMs serve as doctors, nurses, and hospital administrators in the medical field, and also teach in seminaries and schools. A Religious Sister of Mercy is called to professional excellence while living in a religious community as the Bride of Christ.
The community has 10 convents in the United States, three in Europe: Rome, England and Germany — and another in Sydney, Australia. They came to St. Louis at the invitation of Archbishop Robert J. Carlson, formerly the bishop in their diocese of Saginaw, Michigan.
