Here in Arkansas during the Year of Mercy, the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas were recognized for their many significant contributions to our state and were inducted into the Arkansas Women's Hall of Fame. Grateful for their service, we are reminded of all the women past and present who have dedicated their lives to carry out Catherine's vision. Our young women at Mount St. Mary Academy continue to "be shining lamps." Today, all 500 of our students will #MakeMercyReal with a day of service to 18 community organizations. They will be cleaning up parks, picking up trash and helping out at schools, hospitals and local food agencies to spread the message of God's love and mercy to the world.
Mercy Day blessings and peace,
-Mount St. Mary Academy, Little Rock
