Family Program at McAuley

The McAuley High School Family Program was initiated in 2008.  We created 27 families at McAuley, each with an unique Irish name (to proudly represent the Irish roots of Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy), symbol and colors.  Every family is made up of several students from each grade level.  This helps promote unity and friendship among all members of the McAuley community and allows students to meet friends they wouldn't usually encounter in the classroom.  Throughout the year sisters will have the opportunity to get to know one another through a variety of ways, such as the Mercy Day Picnic, service projects (and MERF), Mohawk Madness competitions and other social events! Families meet each Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:15a-8:30a. 

Senior sisters pin their sophomore sister at the traditional pinning ceremony on December 11.
