Compelled By Mercy:  Core Value of Mercy Education

Mercy students, in the spirit of their founder Catherine McAuley, are steadfastly determined to take Mercy into an interconnected world. Their shared sense of social consciousness is fortified by universal empathy and a conviction that all are worthy of God’s mercy. This deep awareness and compassion move the Mercy Community to take principled action and serve the needs of others

This photo collage depicts some of the service projects that Mercy High students focused on for the 2021 holiday season. More clubs along with three Honor Societies, Spanish, Italian and National,  have more service events planned for early 2022.
