For we reflect on the Sisters of Mercy’s fourth vow, the vow of service. Service isn’t just something we do, it’s who we are. Rooted in faith and compassion, we seek to put the needs of others first, letting our actions be a light to those we serve. When service is lived intentionally, it becomes a powerful expression of mercy that can truly transform lives.

"Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”
Matthew 5:15-16

There’s no overnight path to 26.2 miles. For Dr. Jarin Redman, a hospitalist at running began during the pandemic as a way to stay healthy and manage stress during an especially demanding time. What started as a personal commitment grew into months of training, perseverance and dedication.

Staying active looks different for everyone but this path ended up leading him to proudly take part in the 130th Boston Marathon!

Amanda was healthy, a non-smoker and just looking for answers about a persistent fever. She never imagined it would lead to a lung cancer diagnosis, but thanks to Dr. Jason McKenney and the rest of the team, Amanda is still here with her family today.

Over 13,000 hours.

That’s how long Shirley Waterman has volunteered at Mercy Southeast.
Shirley, now 87 and still going strong, began volunteering in 1978 after her husband suffered a heart attack. Seeing the comfort volunteers provided to families, she thought, “I can do that!” and she did.

Her favorite place to serve is the surgical waiting room.
“The people needed someone because they were there for family members,” Waterman said. “Some were very upset, and sometimes just talking with them or offering a cup of coffee made a difference. They really appreciated it, and I felt the hours I spent there were very rewarding.”

Shirley is just one of the many incredible volunteers we’re blessed to have.

Happy to Shirley and to everyone who gives their time to serve with us!
