Catherine McAuley Alumnae Award
Introduced in 2009, the Catherine McAuley Alumnae Award is a way of acknowledging and celebrating the great achievements of the OLMC Alumnae community.
For over 10 years, the OLMC Parramatta Alumnae has awarded an ex-student who, in the years since she left the College, has made a difference, through her influence or service, to those whose lives she has touched.
The women who have received the Alumnae Award have all led very different lives, and their contributions to the lives of others have been demonstrated in many different ways – in their homes, local communities and on the national or international stage.
The Award Winners are asked to speak about their lives at a College Assembly, highlighting how their education at OLMC influenced their life path and purpose. These occasions are an invaluable way in which the Alumnae is making a contribution to the Mercy education of the students of today. In 2017, two OLMC Alumnae were selected - the first time in the history of this prestigious award.
