Parishioners of St Teresa and Holy Rosary joined together with the Sisters of Mercy, Mercy Associates, and friends to celebrate Mercy Day, Sunday, September 21. Msgr Terrence Montrose celebrated Holy Mass. Special mention was made of Sr Catherine Marie Glyn-Williams RSM who celebrated 65 years in Religious life on September 8 and Msgr Montrose who celebrated 50 years as a priest on August 10.
Mercy Day, celebrated annually on September 24, is the anniversary of the opening of the first ‘House of Mercy’ by Catherine McAuley in Dublin, Ireland, in 1827. “It is a significant feast for the Sisters of Mercy, as they celebrate their enduring legacy of compassion, hospitality, and service to the poor, sick and uneducated,” stated The Catholic Standard.
Apostolates of the Sisters of Mercy in Guyana include the St Joseph Mercy Hospital, Mercy Resident Care, St John Bosco Orphanage, St John Bosco Academy, St Bernadette’s Hostel, and Mercy Wings Academic Foundation, “each a living testimony of compassion and service,” according to the diocesan news source.
There are currently eight Religious sisters including Superior Sr Julie Matthews, four discerners, four candidates and one transfer, Sr Mary Lawrence.
