Arising out of the legacy of Trinity College of Vermont, Mercy Connections, Inc. was founded in 2001 by the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, Regional Community of Vermont as a nonprofit educational corporation committed to extending the Mercy mission by focusing on supporting people in transition and helping them find the tools they need to make lasting changes in their lives.

Mercy Connections is an educational values-driven non-profit organization living the legacy of the Sisters of Mercy, with an enduring concern for women. By compassionately nurturing self sufficiency through education, mentoring and community, people are empowered to make significant life changes.

The Sisters of Mercy of Americas are an international community of Roman Catholic women vowed to serve people who suffer poverty, sickness and ignorance, with a special concern for women and children. In innovative and traditional ways they address human needs through collaborative efforts in education, healthcare, housing and pastoral and social service.
