In 1978, the cause for the beatification of the Servant of God Catherine McAuley was opened by Pope Paul VI. And in 1990, upon recognition of her heroic virtues, Pope John Paul II declared her Venerable, a status eligible for elevation to sainthood. Total worldwide vowed membership of the Sisters of Mercy is now about 10,000, with foundations in the United States, in Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina, in addition to the original Mercy International Centre in Dublin, Ireland.

This operated for four years before her clerical mentor convinced her that the institution would not survive her death unless it was made a religious order. Accordingly, she joined the Church as a nun, and then returned to the Sisters of Mercy in 1831 as Sister Mary Catherine, Mother Superior of the Order. The rule of the Sisters of Mercy was formally confirmed by Pope Gregory XVI on 6 June 1841; she died that November, but lived to see her legacy ensured, and membership increase to 100 nuns.
