2022 Programme Details
)
MIA is releasing our programme schedule for the 2022 calendar year. We are eager to once again welcome pilgrims from around the world to visit Catherine’s house and connect with our global Mercy community. In 2022, MIA is offering a variety of programmes that focus on heritage, spirituality, Mercy, and justice. MIA feels these pillars will enable all who visit Baggot Street to learn more about our history, connect more deeply with Catherine, and experience what Mercy is today.

Change always starts with confusion: cherished interpretations must dissolve to make way for the new. Of course, it's scary to give up what we know, but the abyss is where newness lives."
