In July, Mercy Education celebrated its five-year anniversary by inviting our community to “celebrate with service” and accrue, collectively, five years of service – 43,800 hours – during Mercy Day activities. With the generous participation of tens of thousands of students, faculty, staff, families and friends of Mercy schools, we have exceeded our goal with over 45,300 hours logged. These hours are far more than a number. They signify unity, interculturality, growth, leadership, learning, compassion and connection; they enliven participants with the charism of Mercy; and they call us to deeper engagement with the Critical Concerns and Mercy Education Core Values.
What does 45,300 hours of service look like? Thanks to submissions from our member schools, we shared an overview in our new edition of Mercy Impact. Read it here!
