In 1973, under the direction of the Sacred Congregation of Religious, the Religious Sisters of Mercy were refounded by 10 Sisters of Mercy and one Dominican Sister. The fist 11 Sisters were dedicated to preserving the Charism of Mercy so as to incarnate the Mercy of God the Father to the poor, sick, and ignorant. And this included preserving the essential elements of Religious Life, such as wearing a religious habit, praying in common, being obedient to a religious superior, etc.
