MARLINS MAKING HEADLINES
Heart of Mercy
| |
We are proud to announce and congratulate the 2024 Heart of Mercy Award recipients Megan Windham '24 and Director of Mission & Catholic Identity Mrs. Mary Kate Becker! View photo gallery from Heart of Mercy Mass here.
"Megan lives out the Mercy values naturally in and out of school. She includes everyone, no matter who they are; she is an example of kindness and dedication to all. She is smiling and happy, radiating joy wherever she goes. She puts others' needs above her own and listens attentively."
"Mrs. Becker has inspired me to explore my faith due to her immense love for God and dedication to living the way that Jesus would live. She is an incredible leader. She has the purest heart. Mary Kate makes others feel loved and accepted."

Yearly Service Awards
Our Mercy Day of Celebration on May 23 will be here before we know it! Mission and Ministry will award Service Awards to all students who have achieved 100 hours of service. These hours are cumulative during their time at Mercy and are incremental (100, 200, 300, etc). Students should log these hours into their Mobile Serve account. For 10th - 12th graders, all service hours that were turned in during previous academic years have been imported into Mobile Serve. Mobile Serve accounts need to be updated with service hours by May 1st. Any hours earned after May 1st will count for the following academic year. Please reach out to Mrs. Bennetts if you have any questions.
