Mothers' Club

Welcome from the Mother's Club President

Dear Gwynedd Mothers and Guardians,

I would like to welcome you all by saying, “Cead Mile Failte!” This Gaelic expression used by the ancestors of our beloved foundress, Catherine Elizabeth McAuley, seemed sort of fun and appropriate as it encompasses a bit of Catherine’s Irish heritage, and its literal translation means, “One Hundred Thousand Welcomes!" 

As mothers and guardians of our cherished Gwynedd Mercy Girls, you are all welcomed as automatic members of our Gwynedd Mothers’ Club. Your membership requires nothing, except maybe having a little, or a LOT, of fun together. Our Mothers’ Club is a relaxed and friendly environment created to help us all find ways to become involved in our Gwynedd Mercy community, to meet new moms, and to enjoy some of what our daughters get to experience every day, “The Mercy Spirit.”

The Mothers’ Club hosts several informal social gatherings throughout the year where you will have the opportunity to chat with other moms and guardians, learn about what is happening at Gwynedd, how you can become involved, and gain some insight into the excitement you can expect as a parent each high school year. 

In addition to social events, the Mothers’ Club offers annual traditions and celebrations, service activities, and fun book discussion nights. To learn more about all of these occasions, I encourage you to frequently visit this webpage as well as read the weekly Mercy Messenger (sent out on Sundays) for details on our events.  If you are someone who likes to volunteer, we welcome you to view our volunteer sign-up forms. By attending any of our activities or events, you will quickly learn, as our slogan simply states… “Mercy is at the heart of all we do.”

I look forward to seeing you throughout the school year. If you have any questions, please contact me at murraycd@comcast.net or our Vice President, Meghan Baker P’24,’25 at mnbaker_sip@hotmail.com

In mercy and friendship,

Carolyn Doyle Murray '88, P'20, '21, '24
Mothers’ Club President, 2022-23
