Ambassador Status

Mercyhurst University's roots are in Ireland, stemming from the Sister's of Mercy.  On Sunday, we were very blessed to get an inside look of the House on Baggot Street and see where it all began.  I will claim some Ambassador-nerd status here, but the experience was one I will never forget! We were given an unofficial tour of the very halls and steps Sister Catherine McAuley walked (she founded the sisters).  To see her teacup and the room where she laid was a very cool experience and put the information we as ambassadors must learn into reality.  We were even given access to Catherine McAuley's grave. An odd, but wonderful, experience for sure!  The hospitality the sisters are known for was evident in our impromptu tour and overall feeling of the house.  We finished with a peek inside the chapel, and ending up chatting with the old Irish people there for traditional Irish mass! Overall, it was a unique and special experience for everyone...even though we complained and moaned the entire walk there, we all agree it was well worth it.
