Mercy Week was held September 21 - 25 in celebration of Catherine McAuley opening the first House of Mercy in Dublin, Ireland. Throughout the week, our Campus Ministry team organized activities and projects that helped our school community live out some of the Critical Concerns of the Sisters of Mercy and grow in faith.

These projects and programs included assembling birthday kits for women and children in need; tending to the Graves of the Sisters of Mercy at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery; painting & planting flower pots in celebration of this year's Mercy Week theme - "Mercy Grows Here"; enjoying tea during lunch periods; welcoming ValLimar Jansen back to McAuley; and holding our annual Mercy Day celebration with a skit about the Sisters of Mercy and Catherine McAuley, and the traditional "Why We Tell the Story" dance!
