On Sept. 24, 1929 the Sisters founded Carlow University under the name Mount Mercy College.
Events for the 2019 90th anniversary celebration included:
- 1929 time capsule display
- Carlow Day, with historical recollections by Cynthia Busin Nicola, EdD
- Food packing service event
- Abie’s Irish Rose Broadway theater production
- Founder Fortnight events
- All campus picnic
