2024 Foundation Day Mass & YMA Induction

You're invited to Mercy High School for our Foundation Day Mass Thursday, December 12 at 10:15am in the Auditorium. Worship with us as we celebrate the Sisters of Mercy Foundation Day and induct our new Youth Mercy Associates.

The Sisters of Mercy around the world celebrate December 12th as Foundation Day of the Mercy Community. On that day in 1831, Catherine McAuley, Mary Ann Doyle, and Elizabeth Harley professed vows as the first Sisters of Mercy in Dublin, Ireland. From their commitment to serve the poor, sick and uneducated, the Sisters of Mercy grew into thousands across the globe, reaching the United States in 1843 in Pittsburgh and establishing foundations throughout the U.S. The Youth Mercy Associate Chapters provide a link between young people and the Mercy Congregation, and the Sisters of Mercy. They serve to uphold Catherine McAuley’s vision of faith, joy and mercy.
