Catholic Education is very much to the fore in the media in these days. Should the Church be engaged in education or not is the dominant question.
I was very happy when the Chapter (mission) statement saw the way forward as collaboration with others in order to alleviate poverty. On our own we can do little, but in collaboration we can accomplish wonders.
During the weekend of the 12th and 13th December the Sisters of Mercy in Glasgow celebrated the one hundred and sixtieth anniversary of their coming to the city. The foundation was made from St. Mary’s Convent, Bishop St. Limerick, in 1849.
I believe my feet were firmly planted on the path to becoming Mercy when I started attending school in Iona Convent, Pretoria, at age fourteen.
