Mercy Day is an observance that Lauralton shares with all other Sister of Mercy institutions and ministries. Historically, Mercy Day recalls the opening of the House of Mercy in Dublin, Ireland, on September 24, 1827. This establishment realized Catherine McAuley’s dream of creating a place where the poor, especially women and young girls, would find safe lodging and instruction in their faith and in skills that would lead to honorable employment. This work at the House of Mercy led Catherine McAuley to establish the Sisters of Mercy in1831. |
