McAuley holds joint concert with Hanover Girl's Choir from Germany

Mother McAuley was thrilled to welcome the Hanover Girl’s Choir from Germany to our school this week! Chicago was just one stop in their tour of America, and we were lucky enough to hold a joint concert with the Mother McAuley Ensembles and the Hanover Girl's Choir in our very own auditorium on October 9.

It is part of Mother McAuley's Mission to foster an appreciation of the diversity of the global community, and this unique experience gave our school the opportunity to extend our Mercy hospitality to international students.

Many thanks to all of the host families and everyone who made this experience possible for our McAuley students!
