Dear Partners in Mercy,

As we commemorate the 190th Mercy Day, we pray for all of you as Catherine reminded us, "We should be as the compass that goes round its circle without stirring from its center. Our center is God, from whom all our actions should spring from their source."

We hope that you enjoy your day of celebration!

In Mercy,
Mercy Education System of the Americas Board and Staff

It was the first day of the new school year here in London. A mother's voice resounded across the school yard as she called to her child, “I love you! I love you!”
On this Feast of Our Lady of Mercy may we hear anew those same words from our God of love and be filled with joy.
We wish all Sisters of Mercy, our Associates and Partners in Ministry a HAPPY and BLESSED FEASTDAY.
