On this weeks podcast John and Shane were delighted to welcome Sr Sean Marie and Sr Mary Dolora of the Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma Michigan who have recently landed on the banks of the Shannon here in the diocese of Limerick. So we have a sit down with them to find about them and about their religious institute.

Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma, Michigan
C&SI was delighted to welcome Sr Sean Marie and Sr Mary Dolora to the podcast this week to introduce us to the religious institute to which they belong, the Religious Sisters of Mercy, Alma, Michigan which is an off shoot of the Religious Sisters of Mercy founded by Venerable Catherine McAuley. The Alma Mercy Sisters were officially founded in 1973 and are now spread across various countries in various ministries but always with the focus on living out their vows of poverty, chastity, obedience and their particular fourth vow of service of the poor, sick and ignorant. Sr Sean Marie and Sr Mary Dolora share with us their own individual stories of vocation and also a bit about the institute and what it is like coming to Ireland and the present time.
