We find in our works opportunities for showing love of God our heavenly Father. Since the essence of religious life is the living of Christ as perfectly as possible we imitate Christ’s approach to work and reflect Him in whatever duty is assigned to us, bearing in mind that whatever we do for God’s little ones is done for Him. Belonging as we are to the “Family of the Handmaid of the Lord”, we are to offer all our works, great and small through her to the most Holy Trinity.

Every activity of the apostolate finds in Charity its origin and driving force. What is done for God should be done thoroughly well and out of love.

Therefore, we are most careful in the discharge of our duties, knowing that the value of our work comes from the charity, which animates them. We Are therefore, content with whatever task are assigned to us and strive to do them faithfully.

Our apostolic activities include care of the poor and the needy in homes, hospitals schools and any other charitable work, which the diocesan Bishop may judge necessary for the good of souls.

In our Institute, apostolate to the poor takes pride of place. Through home visitation, we seek out the poor around us, assisting them with as muh as our resources permit. We help the poor in such a way as to make them able to help themselves.

Our apostolate to the poor is also extended to the poor relations of our sisters.  

We take active part in programmes that aim at alleviating the sufferings of the poor, and encourage all works that promote their full dignity as God’s children. Mercy Sisters work in homes where motherless babies are cared for.

The ministry of healing is very central to Christianity. Owing to the fact that it is very dear to Christ, He made it a sign of His Messianic mission, “…Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed…” (Lk. 7:22).

The Daughters, through health service perpetuate Christ’s mission on earth by radiating His loving concern for the sick and needy. Their empathy, kindness and gentleness help to alleviate the sufferings of the sick. By so doing, the daughters revitalise the health of the sick both in mind and body.

We go about our various responsibilities in interdependence and mutual respect. Each sister’s work in the community is of unique value to the whole. Sister who serves in administrative roles, formation work, domestic duties and other internal duties make a vital contribution to the apostolic life of the Institute and of the Church.

Our sisters who cannot participate in active work because of illness or age, make a vital contribution to the apostolate of the Institute depends on the continuity of membership, vocations can be fostered through their prayers and exemplary lives
