At the annual Catherine McAuley Liturgy on January 30, Lauralton Hall opened Catholic Schools Week by honoring the memory of the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy and announcing the 2005-2006 Women of Mercy, nominated and voted on by staff, faculty and students. The students who were named Women of Mercy embody the qualities chosen for this year’s national slogan for Catholic Schools Week (a joint project of the National Catholic Educational Association and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for the nation’s 7,800 Catholic schools)--Character, Compassion and Values.

Kaleigh Ferguson,’09; Laura Turner, ’08; Michelle Salzillo, ’07; and Sara Brennan, ’06 were chosen as the students in each class who best emulate the spirit of Catherine McAuley by being rooted in the values of Jesus, committed to education, compassionate and generous of person and talents. We congratulate these young women and their families.
