All of you work hard and make sacrifices to provide your Set-up day for GALA daughters with a Mercy education. You go without so they can have the kind of apparel, they desire. Is there a mentality that says, “It doesn’t matter if I • March 27: McAuley Gala! lose something. My parents will buy me another one”? If so, how do we deal with it and how do we change it? I don’t have the answer to that, only the questions. Until we have a frank discussion about this with our girls nothing will change. The clothing, shoes and sneakers and other items will continue to mount up in our lost and found and eventually be donated to some charity. My prayer for this Lenten season is that we are able to appreciate the material possessions we have. I pray that we can appreciate the hours of hard work it takes to buy those possessions. I pray for a change of heart and a change of attitude for all of us in our throw-away society. Sincerely, MMA Principal Mrs. Paulette Paulette Gaske Gaske presents Junior Kaitlyn Principal Murphy with her Mt. Mercy school ring during a ceremony in the Mercy Center Chapel. MMA PHOTO ALBUM Mt. Mercy Academy Ring Day Ceremony The Mount Mercy Academy Class of 2011 received their Mount Mercy school rings at a ceremony held in the Mercy Center Chapel at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday evening, February 11, 2010. The date also commemorates the anniversary of the establishment of the first house of Mercy in the city of Buffalo in 1858. Academy Principal Mrs. Paulette Gaske and Assistant Principal Mrs. Margaret Staszak pre- sented each student with the meaningful and recognizable Mercy ring, traditionally worn by MMA graduates since 1916. Assisting in the pres- entation were Junior Class Officers, President Quinn Cassidy and Vice President Catherine Kasianowicz. Molly Krug, Junior Class Treasurer and cross bearer for the ceremony, led the procession of students into the chapel, followed by candle bearers Jessica Sawyer, Ashley Malicki, Kaitlyn Murphy, Margaret Mc Donald, Stephanie George, Susan Muldoon, Chelsea Courtade, Michele Domes and Autumn Reinard. Junior Class Secretary Rebecca Fink welcomed family and friends to the celebration. A reading by Simone Howard, Brittany Wolf, and Stephanie Khoury, along with Mt.

Mara Kline and Kelsie Sullivan The Mercy Ring was designed by the first principal of Mount Mercy Academy, Mother Borgia. It was Mother Borgia’s intention for this unique ring to symbolize the values of a Mercy education. The symbolism of the Mercy ring is significant: A circle representing unity of all Mercy graduates; gold, signifying loyalty to school, country, church, family and friends; A blue band--representing Our Lady’s mantle—a reminder of her gentle, compassionate protection and care; seven pearls, reminding the ring wearer of Mary’s MMA Junior Chelsea Courtade receives her MMA Juniors Simone Howard, Stepha- purity, and which stand for faith, hope, charity, nie Khoury and Brittany Wolf, along MMA school ring from obedience, humility, joy and patience. Assistant Principal with Sister Mary Ellen Twist perform in Mrs. M. Staszak a skit during the Ring Day Ceremony. Today, there are over 12,000 women who feel an immediate bond of friendship and recognition when an outstretched hand bears this cherished symbol of Mount Mercy Academy. Because of the beautiful, feminine and delicate design of the Mercy ring, many graduates wear them for years after their high school days have ended. As the 105 th graduating class of Mount Mercy Acad- emy can attest, the traditional Mercy ring still represents a circle of Mercy and the pride of belonging to a community which has been touched by the mission of the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, Juniors Stephanie George, Kaitlyn Catherine McAuley to become women of faith, knowledge, integrity and Murphy, Chelsea Sanabria and Erin Loftus smile as they proudly show off compassion. their Mt. Mercy school rings! Living the Mt. Mercy Mission MMA PHOTO ALBUM Mt. Mercy Academy President Sister Mary Ellen Twist continues Father-Daughter Dance to tutor MMA sophomores on the life and times of Mother Frances Warde, a woman hugely instrumental in the evolvement of Catholicism across the United States. -In 1843, Mother Frances Xavier Warde and six sisters braved the Atlantic Ocean to establish the Sisters of Mercy in the United States. This band of pioneers was enroute to Pitts- burgh, a city that became a well-spring from which the Sisters of Mercy spread to many regions of the young nation. Hidden in the future and certainly beyond Frances Xavier Warde’s imagina- tion as she first stepped onto American soil was the fact that by the time of her death in 1884, she would have established over 82 Mercy convents, schools, hospitals, orphanages, and other works of mercy in some 20 cities across nine states.- This instruction follows the curriculum MMA students learn as freshman regarding the life and times of Mother Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Above: Kateri Brogan and Dad look From the Office of Campus Ministry forward to an evening of fun!

Aspire is an organization that serves and educates special needs children that are unable to attend school. The teachers at Aspire wanted to have a prom for their students and reached out to Mt. Mercy students for help. Reflecting a true spirit of Mercy, the junior class of 2011 held a dress collection drive that included accessories and shoes to be donated to Aspire. The prom was held on February 11 th , coincid- ing with the junior ring day ceremony. On that morning, several students who donated items also went to the Aspire campus to assist the Special Education teachers with preparing students for the prom. Mercy students provided assis- tance by polishing nails, fixing hair, handing out flowers and transporting stu- dents to the gym for the big dance. They also found a bit of time to dance with the attendees, making for a memorable experience. Sarah Kraus and her Dad are crowned Princess and King! Mt.

No part has been submitted for a degree at this or any other university. 2 Acknowledgements Firstly, to my family, thank you for your help and patience. A message to my wife, who put up with a great deal and who typed all of the transcripts: Parkes, my darling, it can only get better from now on! A list of acknowledgements always runs the risk of omitting people whose help and influence have been crucial, or the risk of being boringly long. Unlike the thesis itself, these acknowledgements will risk omissions in the interest of being short. My apologies to those people unfairly omitted. Ivor Davies, of St. John of God Health Care, gave me the idea to research Integration 2000. Francis Sullivan and his staff at Catholic Health Australia made the project possible, invited me to two National Conferences, guided me in setting up the sample and made themselves and their records available on several trips to Canberra. Bruce Callaghan, the consultant who helped the peak body to initiate the process, made his office files available, in his absence, and participated with Francis Sullivan in giving me a preliminary briefing at Sydney Airport. All of the respondents to this research gave freely of their insights and their time, often at considerable personal inconvenience.

  • Annual Report
    Catherine McAuley Center for women & children experiencing homelessness ANNUAL REPORT July 2019-June 2020 The Legacy of Catherine McAuley Born into a wealthy family in Dublin, Ireland, Catherine McAuley’s comfortable early life turned upside down when her father died in 1783. She was only five years old. Catherine’s mother managed to maintain a home of relative affluence for her three children by slowly selling off parcels of land, but she too would pass in 1798. Catherine went to live at first with an impoverished uncle and later cousins with whom Catherine clashed over religious convictions. When her mother’s wealthy relatives William and Catherine Callaghan returned from India in 1803, Catherine gladly moved in to manage their elegant home. She lived there for nearly 20 years, providing religious instructions to the Catholic servants and village children and helping the less-privileged in the community find resources to improve their lives. When William Callaghan passed in 1822, he named Catherine McAuley as his sole heir. She used her inheritance to establish a ‘House of Mercy’ on Baggot Street in September 1827. There, she and several companions provided food, clothing, housing, medical care, and education for many of Dublin’s poor women and young girls. Initially, Catherine distinguished herself from nuns and their convents, but in time she came to realize that in order for her work to continue, the House of Mercy would need to become a convent. In 1831, with the approval of Archbishop Daniel Murray, the congregation of Sisters of Mercy was founded. The Baggot Street house served as its first convent.

  • THE EARLY HISTORY of the SISTERS of MERCY INWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA Sister Kathleen Healy
    THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE SISTERS OF MERCY INWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA Sister Kathleen Healy Congregation of Sisters of Mercy is the largest English- speaking congregation of religious women in the world. Founded Thein 1831 by Catherine McAuley in Dublin, Ireland, itnumbered thirty thousand sisters within one hundred years. The number of Mercy convents in the United States more than doubles the number of all other Mercy convents in the world.1 The birthplace of the Congregation of Mercy in the United States was not in Dublin, Cork, or Limerick, Ireland's largest cities, but in the small provincial town of Carlow. The first Mercy foundation in the United States was not in New— York, Chicago, St. Louis, or San Francisco. It was in Pittsburgh the population, 25,000; the year, 1843. When the Sisters of Mercy were first established in Dublin, they were severely criticized because they left their cloister daily to care for the poor, the sick, and the uneducated. They were called "the walking nuns" in derision, because they went out among the people to serve them. Their ideal was to be religious who were prayerful and contemplative but also active in the service of their fellowmen. They grew rapidly in numbers because both the church and the society of the mid-nineteenth century were ready for an active-contemplative congregation of women ;because teachers, nurses, and social workers were greatly needed by the people of that era ;and because religious leaders capable of combining personal spirituality with a pioneering spirit of initiative and independence were in demand. No one embodied these qualities more profoundly than Sister Frances Warde, who founded the Sisters of Mercy in Pittsburgh.
