More than 500 performers participated in the “Circle of Mercy” Concert on Monday, October 18, 2010, in front of a sold-out crowd of 2,500 at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, PA.

'Tonight is a celebration of God’s mercy poured out on our world and on each of us,''says Sister Christine McCann, the president of the Mid-Atlantic Community of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas which includes Philadelphia. “A celebration of gratitude for the vision and fidelity of the past that still motivates and sustains in the present, a celebration of courage that continues to draw Sisters of Mercy, our associates and colleagues over and over again to the place where mercy is most needed, and a celebration of hope that the blessings of the past will lead to a future marked by the same generosity and service of those who went before us.”
