| This is a time of year that we reflect on our life and give thanks for the many blessings we have received. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, the Mercy staff and students participated in the annual Focus: Hope Food Drive to provide food for Detroit families in need. Each adviser group purchased everything from turkey and stuffing to cranberry sauce and desserts to help make the holiday special for deserving families. The families were remembered during the all-school prayer service that was held the day of the food collection. Keep up with your Mercy news!
