Walking Their Path: A Holiday Reflection on Carlow’s Living Legacy
Every holiday season invites a return to the stories that shape us. At Carlow, those stories reach back to a small group of women who believed that compassion carries a transformative force. They responded to the struggles of their time with courage and imagination. They walked beside people who felt unseen, offered hope where there was very little, and created a legacy that continues to shimmer through this campus nearly a century later.
Their presence is still felt in the values that guide us, in the artwork that fills our sacred spaces, and in the countless acts of kindness that quietly occur through our community. The Mercy story is not something we preserve behind glass. It is something we live. It shapes how students learn, how alumni lead, and how friends and partners join us in the work of building a more compassionate world. As this year comes to a close, we honor that legacy. We look at the stories that show how Mercy continues to move through Carlow University, inspiring a new generation to serve with heart and purpose. READ MORE >>
