Our Mission
Our Lady of Mercy seeks to develop and honor each student spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, creatively, and physically. Guided by Catholic beliefs, our diverse community invites each child to live and serve in a changing society as a self-respecting and responsible citizen.
To this end, we strive to foster:
-
hearts that are compassionate and nourished by Catholic teachings and values.
-
minds that are curious and well-trained in the humanities and sciences.
-
lives that are active and committed to citizenship and service, ready to lead in our global society.
By integrating the teachings of the Catholic Church throughout the curriculum and school activities, we build a community of faith, hope and love and create an atmosphere of care, concern and respect.
