Catherine McAuley lived in Dublin 150 years ago during the Potato Famine and Plague. Her own family became poor after her father died, and she moved from house to house. Eventually she went to live with and care for a family who bequeathed her $1 million. She used it to open “The House of Mercy.”  The women who helped her became the Sisters of Mercy, now serving in hundreds of hospitals and schools worldwide, especially with women and children.

Compassionate Service

Ignatius, as a wealthy young man in Loyola, Spain 500 years ago, lived a life of conquest and pleasure... Until he was injured in battle. His own reflections during his convalescences change his whole life. From then on, he taught others how to reflect and discern God’s call. The men who followed Ignatius became the Jesuits
