The Hospitaller Sisters of Mercy founded on May 16, 1821 by Princess Teresa Orsini Doria Pamphili with a specific apostolate to care for the sick. The congregation is present in five continents and in three locations in the USA; New Jersey, South Carolina and Louisiana.

Over the years the congregation has expanded its works of mercy to respond to the needs of the Catholic Church. The apostolate broadened its fields to include teaching, caring for elderly, family faith formation, women empowerment and ministry to street children.

In 2016, the congregation embarked on a new mission to provide care for juvenile victims of human trafficking in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
