Merced-Aragón

Dear friends,

This year the Order of Mercy celebrates the 800th anniversary of its foundation; eight centuries, neither more nor less, of Mercedaria presence in History. Many lay or religious organizations can not say the same thing. Either because they are much younger or because they have disappeared through the inexorable passage of time, for reasons of different kinds.

While it is true that the Order of Mercy has always been characterized by not attracting too much attention, focused as it has always been on the performance of its mission rather than disclosing it, we believe that this 2018 is an excellent opportunity to make it known. little better and evaluate the footprint that has left in history …

And what better way to do it than with a Historical Symposium of Academic Character in which authorized voices from the world of the university and the study participate. Specifically the next days 8 and 9 November at the Ateneu Universitari Sant Pacià.

Since the Order of Mercy had its origin in Barcelona and has taken the name of the city to all corners of the world, being one of its best ambassadors and values ​​of justice, equality and coexistence of its inhabitants, we have considered appropriate to celebrate this Symposium in the City where everything began and where the Virgin Mary was also known by her surname of “La Merced”.

We have been preparing for months, with dedication and work, this Symposium to be at the height of what this city and our Mercedarian ancestors, writers of history, deserve.

We want these lines to be an invitation for you to attend this Symposium. We have worked hard so that at the same time wake up and satisfy your curiosity in an efficient and pleasant way, and you can know with objectivity the deeds and achievements of our ancestors. Gestures and achievements of which Barcelona must feel happy because this modest Order is her daughter.

We will wait for you….
