  • How can I apply? Click on the button below to download and complete the application, then send it to the program director: sister.teresa@socmaria.org

  • What’s the process? The application process begins when we receive your completed Mercy Missionary application, due May 13. We will review the applications, then contact you for an interview. We may ask for additional steps after that. If you submit your application on time, you will know by June 15 whether you have been accepted.

  • What about dating? If you are already dating someone, know that living as a Mercy Missionary will mean spending significantly less time with that person. If you are not already in a relationship, you will be asked to go on a dating fast for the Mercy Mission year, so you can dedicate yourself fully to the mission experience.

  • What if I have more questions? Reach out to the program director by email, and she will answer any questions you have, or schedule a time to speak with you in person.
