A rich tradition exists in its evolution from the Hotchkiss "Stonycroft" estate to W.T. Grant's summer mansion to the Mercy Center at Madison today. The Grant mansion, still in use, grew to 116 interconnecting rooms when acquired by the Sisters of Mercy of Connecticut over 50 years ago. The beauty and tranquility of this place provides a setting conducive to reflection and purposeful learning.
Mercy Center at Madison is blessed with 33 acres of breath-taking, ocean front property resplendent with shrubs, flowers and other plantings. Over 45 different species of trees grace the property, including Sugar Maple, Red Maple, White Pine, Black Gum, Paper Birch, Dogwood, Serviceberry, Hawthorne, Eastern Red Cedar and Red Oak. From Mercy Center's beautiful, private beach to our outdoor gardens to our Seaside Meditation Room and Chapel, you will feel welcomed, safe and peaceful here.
