Honouring Catherine McAuley
This year, Mercy schools across Jamaica celebrated Mercy Day under the theme “Rooted in Mercy”, honouring the day in 1827 when Catherine McAuley opened the first House of Mercy on Baggot Street in Dublin. From Mass at Holy Trinity Cathedral and tree planting to jazz in the lobby and tea time, here’s how our schools marked the day.

Mission Driven
Inspired by Catherine McAuley and committed by vows to serve the poor, sick and uneducated, the Sisters of Mercy of Jamaica sponsor and thereby empower educational institutions to continue the mission of Jesus — aimed at the affirmation and full development of human beings, made in the image of God. In these institutions, the Sisters of Mercy collaborate with the laity and other religious in furthering the mission of the Church.
