WE HOLD YOU IN PRAYER

As a Mercy school, our Catholic Identity is a vital component of our mission. Holy Week is the anticipated conclusion of our Lenten journeys. Maybe we are eager to reconnect with things we have set aside in the spirit of sacrifice. Maybe, as much as we wished to, we didn't have much time to give to Lent this year due to circumstances in our lives. Wherever you are in your experience of Lent this year, we hold you in prayer and wish you a time of peace as we prepare to celebrate the Risen Christ. You can find Holy Week liturgical schedules and events throughout the Archdiocese here. We hope all Mercy families enjoy a relaxing break and blessed Easter!
