Mercy Day 2024

Mercy Day is celebrated each year on 24 September. It is the anniversary of the opening of the very first 'House of Mercy' in 1827 in Dublin, Ireland.

Events will be taking place across the world and we would love to be able to share details of what you have planned so please email us: mercyenews@mercyinternational.org

Mass for Mercy Day 2024

Here in Catherine's House in Dublin we will celebrate Mass on Monday 23 September with Sisters and friends. We have moved the Mass this year so as we are not cutting across events that are planned locally on Mercy Day itself. We intend to make the Mass available afterwards on our website for Mercy Day.
