HISTORY & TRADITIONS: Rooted in Mercy Mercy High School is a sponsored ministry of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas and is a member of Mercy Education. On September 24, 1827, Catherine McAuley opened the House of Mercy on Baggot Street in Dublin, Ireland, including the first "Mercy School" a classroom dedicated to training young women. In 1831, Catherine and two companions took vows to become the first Sisters of Mercy, beginning a religious order to carry on their important service to those who were poor, sick and uneducated. Sisters of Mercy and their companions, associates and co-workers continue Catherine McAuley's mission of education. To ensure that mission into the future, the Sisters of Mercy established Mercy Education in 2017. Today, in the spirit of Catherine, the Sisters of Mercy respond to emerging needs, guided by five Critical Concerns: Earth, Immigration, Nonviolence, Racism and Women.
