格温内斯庆祝仁慈日
The red and gold corridors were bustling last week with events leading up to Mercy Day. Mercy Day—September 24—is the anniversary of the opening of the first “House of Mercy” in 1827 in Dublin, Ireland, where Catherine McAuley, 仁慈修女会的创始人, 把她的一生献给了穷人, sick, and uneducated.
学生和他们的校友母亲, grandmothers, aunts, 和表亲们聚集在一起庆祝9月21日的仁慈日. 他们在参加慈悲日弥撒前享用了一顿欧陆式早餐. After Mass, Elizabeth Hasson '18 向学生们讲述了她的工作 Mercy Focus on Haiti. |

The students enjoyed a day of skits and activities at school as they dressed up in red and gold for their "Mercy Spirit'ful' Day" on September 22. Despite rainy weather, alumnae, students, past and current parents, and friends kept the celebration going on September 23 by supporting the 15th annual Carolyn Keen '10纪念5公里跑/1米走. The CK5K 一个活动是筹集资金来支持 卡罗琳·基恩10年纪念奖学金. We hope all our alumnae and community members had a very happy Mercy Day. 作为仁慈修女会的创始人 Catherine McAuley once said, "上帝的仁慈赐予了我们彼此." |
