JOIN US IN PRAYER
Mercy High School prays for the victims and families affected by the horrific shootings this past week in Buffalo, New York and Laguna Woods, California. The Critical Concerns of the Sisters of Mercy specifically stand against Violence and Racism.
"Our faith, which sees everyone as a reflection of our loving God, calls us to mourn with our sisters and brothers, and to recommit our efforts to dismantle structures of oppression and the culture of violence that perpetuate these tragedies." ~Sisters of Mercy
Lord God, crime is on the increase within our country. From the depths of our hearts we pray that you will comfort, heal, and bless all victims of crime. We ask that you protect all people from the evil of crime, racism and violence.
Loving God, you are the author and sustainer of our lives. You know the anguish of the sorrowful, you are attentive to the prayers of the brokenhearted. Hear your people who cry out to you in their need; strengthen their hope in your lasting goodness.
We pray today for those who have died because of the violence of racial terrorism. Draw them to yourself; let your face shine upon them. May they be greeted with choirs of angels and experience your eternal peace and joy.
Be near to all those who have been touched by violence: those who have been hurt, lost their loved ones or lost their sense of security. Be for them a steady comfort and safe resting place. Soften the hearts and steady the minds of those who would do violence to others. May hate be replaced with love, violence with peace and darkness with your light.

Rescheduling a Final Exam: Only under serious circumstances, that are out of the student's control, will a student be permitted to take an exam other than at the scheduled time. Students must initiate that request by completing and submitting a form (available at the Reception Area) to be signed by a parent, verifying the need for a change in test time, accompanied by appropriate documentation (i.e. medical documentation, airline tickets, etc...). The request must be submitted two weeks prior to the final and approved by the Associate Principal of Academic Affairs and the teacher involved.
If a student is simply changing the day/hour to ease their exam schedule on a given day, (but not to finish earlier) an email notification from the teacher, approving this arrangement, to Ms. McMaster is all that is necessary.
