Prayer Service to mark 35th anniversary of Catherine McAuley's declaration as Venerable

Catherine McAuley was declared Venerable on 9 April 1990. To mark the 35th anniversary of this declaration, we will be making available a brief prayer service with the Mercy World for 9 April 2025.

We will also be sharing an update on Catherine's Cause for Canonisation from Sr. Brenda Dolphin rsm, Postulator for the Cause.

Both of these will be available on our website for Tuesday 8th April.

How you can be part of the 35th anniversary?

If you are hosting an event or marking this significant anniversary in any way, please drop us an email to mercyenews@mercyinternational.ie.

At this time of celebration might you share an insight about Catherine’s life with somebody else and pray together for her beatification or for a particular intention through her intercession?
