The Daughters of Mary Mother of Mercy (DMMM) Congregation,
otherwise known as "Mercy Sisters", is an indigenous women religious Congregation founded in 1961 by
the late Bishop Anthony Gogo Nwedo, C.S.Sp. It has its headquarters in Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria,
West Africa. It is an Institute of Apostolic religious life with a Pontifical Right. Mercy Sisters take the
three evangelical vows of Obedience, Poverty, and Chastity. Although it is an indigenous Congregation, DMMM
has spread its missionary arms to all parts of the world including Africa, Europe, Canada, and the United States of America.
Our Spirit of Charity, Humility, Prayer, Penance, and Abandonment to the Will of
God animates us to be God's instrument in giving hope and a purposeful life to
the poor, the needy, orphans, the sick, and the underprivileged in society
through our apostolates of Caring, Healing, and Teaching. We also evangelize the
spiritually impoverished through pastoral ministry in the dioceses and parishes.
