On this day in 1827 Catherine McAuley opened the House of Mercy on Baggot Street in Dublin, Ireland. For almost 200 years the Sisters of Mercy have carried forward her legacy impacting the lives of generations, including here at Saint Joseph's College.
As she was dying, Catherine comforted the Sisters with the following instruction, "Be sure to have a comfortable cup of tea for ... when I am gone.” And so, each year we host a tea to honor Catherine and the work of the Sisters of Mercy.
