What are the purpose and goals of the Companions?
The Companions, inspired by Catherine McAuley, desire to express the charism of mercy in a new form of commitment to mercy through the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. Ministries might include direct service, advocacy, and prayer. Companions live out this commitment within the context of their professional and personal circumstances. They commit to a regular rhythm of prayer and reflection and to times for retreat and renewal. They form community as Companions, meeting together biannually and maintain regular contact with one another.
