怜悯周

Catherine McAuley
During 怜悯周 2023, GMercyU unveiled its statue of Catherine McAuley in celebration of the University's 75th anniversary.
9月. 24, 1827, in Dublin, Ireland, Catherine McAuley founded a home to shelter and educate young girls. This house would be the foundation for the Sisters of Mercy — and for 17 U.S. colleges and universities, including ours.
Each September, we celebrate this herit年龄 during 怜悯周 to coincide with the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy.

A Weeklong Celebration

怜悯周 features a variety of educational and service-related programming that brings our campus community together, from inspirational films and engaging lectures to shared meals and lively discussions. We talk about current crises in our country and world, and think of ways the Mercy community can impact change. We also honor exceptional individuals at GMercyU for their commitment to service. Specific programming changes from year to year, but the Mercy mess年龄 is always loud and clear.
