Our 175th Anniversary
Throughout 2018 we will be commemorating and celebrating the 175th anniversary of the arrival of the Sisters of Mercy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the beginning of a vibrant legacy of service. That legacy continues today in numerous and diverse ministries, in hospitals, in universities and high schools, in parishes, in shelters and in immigrant detention centers, adhering always to our vow to serve people who are poor, sick and uneducated.
As we celebrate the seven pioneering women who, led by Mother Frances Xavier Warde, brought the charism of Mercy to the Americas, we seek also to actively honor their commitment to service, their sacrifices and their indomitable spirits. We hope that everyone will connect ever more deeply with Mercy by sharing in our celebration. Below are some of the ways in which you may participate.
