Register for our new Heritage Webinar Series - The Path to the First House of Mercy 1827

We are delighted to introduce our new Heritage Webinar Series: The Path to the First House of Mercy 1827.

Caroline Thompson, our Head of Heritage and Spirituality, will deliver the first in an ongoing series from Mercy International Association as we countdown to the 200th anniversary of the Founding of the First House of Mercy by Catherine McAuley which we will celebrate on 24 September 2027.

Caroline will unpack some of the heritage, history and story in a series of monthly webinars which will begin in May 2026.

The webinars will be a mixture of live and pre-recorded which can be accessed anywhere in the Mercy World. The pre-records will be available on our website and YouTube pages and the live webinars will be available on Zoom (and made available afterwards).

We look forward to welcoming you.
