On Se 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.
Sister Dale Jarvis will share some of her recent experiences at Baggott Street in Dublin, Ireland, working at the House of Mercy built by Catherine McAuley in 1827.
She will reflect on Catherine McAuley, her mission to serve God’s people, and how it inspired seven Sisters to immigrate to America to start the work of Mercy here. This mission is alive and well in over 45 countries and in many works of Mercy.
