"Whatever be the station women are destined to fill, their example and advice will always possess influence." The Venerable Catherine McAuley
Last spring, Mercy High School invited all parents of a Mercy graduate to honor or remember their daughter(s) with a special tribute in the 2022 Mercy Alumnae Brag Book. This opportunity allowed parents to share with the Mercy community all that their daughter has accomplished and the ways she is making a difference in the world. The response from parents was great!
Mercy is happy to share the first Mercy Alumnae Brag Book compilation with the whole Mercy community and beyond. Read here and share in our pride at the amazing accomplishments of our alumnae; they are an inspiration!
We are now accepting submissions for the 2023 Mercy Alumnae Brag Book here!
