Mercy Outreach
Responding to the mission and the spirit of Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, service learning activities play an integral role supporting the students development as principled leaders who are inspired by faith to reach out to those in need. Service activities span every grade level and draw the entire school community together to foster a sense of responsibility for those in need.
Mercy Connections
As part of this commitment to service each grade is connected to a particular ministry that has ties to the Sisters of Mercy – ministries that involve direct service to the poor, sick, or uneducated. During the course of the year, the students ‘connect’ with the ministry by learning about its mission and oftentimes, meeting the people involved as part of the Service Learning Program. This fosters compassionate service and the opportunity to develop into principled leaders that see the positive impact their works of mercy have on others.
