Students reach out in mercy during Catholic Schools Week

Posted

At the Warm Hearts and Warm Wishes Event held on Friday, Jan. 27, in addition to enjoying “breakfast for dinner” and music and games, students from Our Lady of Mercy School in East Greenwich created placemats which will be laminated and shared with the residents of Heart of Mercy Home in Honduras. The project was led by the “Friends of Mercy” group at OLM. The Friends of Mercy also coordinated two additional collections that were generously supported by the OLM School community: games for McAuley Village and warm hats and gloves for the Midnight Moment Outreach in Providence. All throughout Catholic Schools Week, in advance of the Super Bowl, the school collected canned soups and other non-perishables for the OLM Parish Outreach Program. Students who had correctly guessed the Super Bowl’s final score helped deliver more than 12 crates of soup and seven crates of non-perishables to the “Mercy House” at OLM. From there, they will be distributed to the less fortunate in the area.
