Mercy Week: An opportunity to engage with and reflect on the Critical Concern of Anti-Racism

All events are online
“Never speak with contempt of any nation, profession, or class of people." ~ Catherine McAuley.

The goal of this week is to introduce the Saint Joseph’s community to important concepts related to this critical concern

Donato Tramuto H’19, founder and chair of the Tramuto Foundation, has long been focused on compassion and the impact it can make on another’s life. As we continue to discuss the Critical Concern of Anti-Racism, we are excited to share with you a special message from Donato about the importance of compassion and kindness in addressing systemic racism. Donato has also issued a challenge to the SJC community: in honor of 193 years since Catherine McAuley opened the doors of Baggot Street, when we reach 193 donors to the House of Mercy Fund, he will donate $5,000!

Your gift today has the power to make mercy real for SJC students today and tomorrow.
