Mary Reynolds rsm - Executive Director MIA

The life and death of Catherine McAuley was commemorated at Baggot Street on the historic 170th anniversary of her death on 11-11-11. Sixty-five Sisters of Mercy, Associates, partners in ministry, and friends of Mercy participated in a Eucharistic liturgy followed by afternoon tea. Mary Reynolds rsm, director of Mercy International Association, welcomed the congregation, which included persons from Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain, Ireland, and the United States...

In the evening as the specific time of Catherine’s death approached (7.50 p.m.), a dozen Sisters of Mercy and friends of Mercy who were staying overnight at Baggot Street, or are on staff with Mercy International Association, gathered in Catherine’s Room for evening prayer. Readings were taken from the letters and early manuscripts of the sisters who detailed Catherine’s final hours. As Catherine’s light was extinguished, all present lit a candle with the commitment to carry on Catherine’s legacy in our world today.

Within the last six months or so the word ‘fracking’ has become a household word in parts of the island of Ireland. The screening of the award-winning film ’Gaslands’ in several towns and villages both sides of the Border, has added a visual interpretation to the word ‘fracking’. Viewers are still shocked and wonder how water from a tap could go up in flames. What was going on?

On 29th October 2011, seven Sisters of Mercy travelled to Haiti to participate in Build it Week with the Haven Partnership, along with three family members of the sisters.

On this occasion, the Sisters of Mercy and the Haven volunteers worked near the epicentre of the January 2010 earthquake, a place called Leogane- 18 miles outside Port Au Prince, capital of Haiti.

A video 'snapshot' of their experiences during 'Build It' week has been posted on The Congregation's website.
