The Sisters of Mercy of the Americas Northeast Community was officially formed July 1, 2006 uniting sisters, associates and companions from Albany, New York; Connecticut; New Hampshire; Portland, Maine; Providence, Rhode Island; and Vermont in the northeastern United States.

As a new organizational structure, the Northeast Community is able to use its human and financial resources more efficiently for the Mercy mission. These changes enable us to focus on our commitment to service, enrich our partnerships and enhance our connectedness with one another.

The Community has more than 1,100 sisters, associates and companions.

The central office for the Northeast Community is located in Cumberland, Rhode Island, however, sisters, associates and companions continue to minister where they live in the areas of education, healthcare and social and pastoral services.
