Catherine "Gerrie" Naughton (1942–2009) was a Roman Catholic nun of the Sisters of Mercy (RSM). In 1987 she founded ARISE Adelante to serve those living in the unincorporated colonias (low-income, informal communities sometimes called slums) of the Rio Grande Valley.[1] Members of ARISE receive assistance for a period of time but then must volunteer back to the community in a distributive leadership model.[2][3] Naughton's motto was "ARISE does not do for the people what the people can do for themselves."[4]
