On May 1, 1884, Jesse Ripoll inaugurated Convent of Mercy Academy 'Alpha'.

 

Under the legacy of Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy, and within the global Mercy Education system, we have blossomed in Jamaica, with nine schools educating over 4,000 students.

 

130 years later, on May 1, 2024, we celebrated with the Blessing of our new Entranceway. The event was presided over by Apostolic Nuncio, His Excellency Santiago de Wit Guzmán, The Most Rev. Kenneth Richards, Archbishop of Kingston who blessed the Entranceway, The Most Rev. John Persaud, Bishop of the Dioceses of Mandeville, and Montego Bay and Ms. Terry-Ann Thomas Gayle, Acting Chief Education Officer, Board Members, Principal, Alumnae and other specially invited guests.
