This
website is dedicated to Sister Sarah Ducey who co-founded
Mercy Family Center in 1992. Seeing a need for mental health
services for low-income families in our community, she sought
funding for a clinic that would be accessible to everyone,
regardless of their ability to pay. Thanks to her leadership
and vision, Mercy Family Center |
continues
to fulfill the Sisters’ mission in Southeast Louisiana by
providing holistic healing for the body, mind, and spirit.
