Getting into the fall spirit! 🎃🍂

Our youth got creative with a fun pumpkin painting activity, turning ordinary pumpkins into colorful works of art. It was a great opportunity to express their creativity and enjoy a little fall fun!

Happy Mercy Day

On September 24, 1827, Catherine McAuley opened the first House of Mercy on Baggot Street in Dublin, Ireland, creating a place of refuge, care, and education for women and children in need.

Nearly 200 years later, her legacy of compassion and service continues through the Sisters of Mercy and Mercy ministries around the world, including MercyFirst.

Today, on Mercy Day, we honor Catherine McAuley’s vision and celebrate the Mercy tradition that continues to inspire our work with children and families each day.

💜 September is Kinship Care Month!

This month, MercyFirst is proud to recognize Ms. Tiffany Maisonet, whose commitment to her younger sister is a powerful example of the love and stability kinship caregivers provide.

When her sister entered foster care, Ms. Maisonet immediately stepped forward to provide a safe and supportive home. Through her dedication, accountability, reliability, and perseverance, she has remained a consistent source of encouragement and belonging, helping her sister overcome challenges, graduate from high school, and continue her education in college.

Ms. Maisonet’s commitment to caring for others also extends to her community. She is working toward opening The House of Ruth, a group home dedicated to providing young women with a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where they can not only survive, but thrive.

During Kinship Care Month, we celebrate Ms. Maisonet and all kinship caregivers who open their homes and hearts to help keep families connected and strong. 💜
