The Fourth Institute Chapter held in June 2005 in Laredo, Texas, resulted in a renewed focus on our identity and an intensified response to critical concerns of our time including immigration, non-violence, racism, Earth and women's issues. The Chapter also affirmed the creation of a process for all who are called to Mercy to collaborate in their service to those in need.
