We pray for the Young Mercy Leaders who represent all the young people in our Mercy schools and colleges.
In this time at Baggot Street may they come to know Catherine in a personal way and grow in certainty of their own call to show Mercy to the world through acting for justice and working for peace.

Editor: St Mary's Handsworth was the second English foundation of the order and as the last house founded by Catherine McAuley the decision was taken that it should continue as a Spirituality and Associates Centre, offer a Heritage Trail and extend a ministry to local women and children. There are currently six sisters in the Community, carrying out various ministries. What does it mean to walk in the foosteps of the Foundress? During June the Handsworth Mercy community hosted a number of Mercy visitors on pilgrimage. One of the pilgrims shares her reflections...

"The three weeks I spent in St. Mary’s, Handsworth during the month of June have made a lasting impression on me.

Firstly, there was the experience of walking the same corridors that Catherine walked, passing through doors she walked through, touching furniture she touched, and hearing the chimes of the clock she heard. She wrote in one of her letters from St. Mary’s that losing track of time there was impossible because ‘the clock chymes (sic.) the quarter’.

I was also moved by the memory of the hundreds of sisters who have lived, prayed, worked and died in St. Mary’s..."

No event of particular significance is recorded in the "Mercy Through the Years Calendar" as having taken place on 17 July.

We invite contributions for this date to be be added to the mercyworld.org online calendar.
