Dear Mercy Family,
We are deeply saddened to learn about today’s tragedy at Oxford High School. We hold in our hearts the students, staff, families and first responders.
Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) is releasing tips for families and individuals to manage stress or trauma associated with a local crisis. Learn more here. The Mercy Counselors will be available throughout the school day to provide additional support for our students as needed.
Let us join together in prayer as one Mercy family for the entire Oxford community.
God of Mercy,
Embrace all those whose hearts today overflow with grief, unanswered questions and an overwhelming sense of loss. Grant them space to express their tears and surround them with Your strength. Hold them close through the coming days. Show them the depths of Your love and keep them close in Your presence. Bless them with comfort in the peace You provide.
Amen.
In Mercy,
Mercy High School Administration, Faculty & Staff
