Giving Societies

THE TROCAIRE SOCIETY | $20,000 and above

Trocaire is the Gaelic word for Mercy. Catherine McAuley defined Mercy as a “vivacious generosity of spirit…a gift given in response to a need.” Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, continually addressed the needs of those in her community. Whether their needs were educational, physical, or spiritual, Catherine was a witness to the merciful presence of God in our world. Inspired by Catherine’s commitment to cultivate Mercy in the lives of others, Merion Mercy designates our highest annual giving level to respond to the needs of our 21st-century teaching and learning community at Merion Mercy. The Trocaire Society sustains these works through exceptionally generous donations that support the greatest needs of MMA. As Merion Mercy Academy’s leading donor group, the following donors are honored for their extraordinary commitment to Merion Mercy by giving gifts of $20,000 or more.

We raised funds for a Caribbean school in need. She opened the world for me. Even now, I never pack a suitcase without thinking of her.” — Tracey Quinlan Dougherty ’90
