Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that this year you are able to feast with family and friends and celebrate all that you are thankful for.
The FOCUS: HOPE Thanksgiving Food Drive has been a tradition at Mercy for over 20 years. Mercy students and staff filled a semi-truck with food for Thanksgiving dinners for needy families as well as donated over $4,000 to feed low income senior citizens.
Thank you to all alumnae who give time and contributions to Mercy. Your support makes Mercy what it is today! As always, Mercy's doors are open to you. Thanks for stopping by the Alumnae Office, Sister Therese Allgeyer '50!
