ARISE SUMMER SERVICE IMMERSION TRIP

Mercy staff members Holly Markiecki-Bennetts and Dr. Alison Kline-Kator '97 along with seven students traveled to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas to work with Arise Adelante. Arise was founded by Sister of Mercy Gerrie Naughton over 30 years ago to help support the women and children of South Texas. Students worked alongside the staff of Arise MUÑIZ to provide activities for the youth in the summer program. Mercy students were able to interact with three other Mercy schools at the other centers and got to know several Sisters of Mercy during their time in Texas.
