This workshop will offer an opportunity to explore the range of purpose in Catherine’s letters and to gain some insight into the ecclesial and secular history of the time. In her introduction to the Correspondence of Catherine McAuley 1818-1841, Mary Sullivan rsm writes that what is most moving about the letters of Catherine “is (her) everyday loveimmersed deep in the human grain of her friends’ and co-workers’ lives”. Texts of her correspondencecorrespondence will be available, so that participants may discover not only the content and style of various letters but Catherine’s perception of the times in which the Sisters of Mercy were founded and the inherent challenges they confronted.
