Mercy Legacy Walk
FOUNDED IN 1831 BY CATHERINE MCAULEY in Dublin, Ireland, the Sisters of Mercy, 被亲切地称为“行走姐妹”," defied the norms of their time by extending their mission beyond convent walls to aid the marginalized — caring for the poor, the sick, and the uneducated.
Since 1861, the Sisters of Mercy have been the pillars, architects, 以及我们深爱的学校的悉心照料者, 他们不可磨灭的遗产融入了我们机构的精髓. As part of our school’s expansion, we proudly introduce the Mercy Legacy Walk, a tribute to "the walking sisters.“这条路将把游客带到我们的新社区, 以纪念仁慈修女会的重要石头为标志. 沿着这条路，我们将照亮五 仁慈教育的核心价值:仁慈驱使, Educational Courage, Inspired by Faith, Principled Leadership, A Voice for Dignity and Respect. We will also celebrate each Sister of Mercy who has served and graduated from our beloved Academy with an engraved brick确保她在学校的不朽遗产.
"No work of charity can be more productive of good to society than the careful instruction of women."
Catherine McAuley,
Sisters of Mercy Foundress
