Care for Creation the Focus of 41st Annual Mercy Education Conference in Kingston

With a wave of the Jamaican flag and Bob Marley’s “One Love” resounding through the room, Kimberly Baxter, Associate Director for Programs and Services for Mercy Education, opened the 41st annual Mercy Education Conference, held October 12-13, 2023, in Kingston, Jamaica. Together the 190 representatives from 44 Mercy schools joined in the singing: “Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright.” This spirit of unity continued throughout the two-day event, themed “Earth Justice: Our Mercy Commitment to Care for Creation.” Participants committed to ecological conversion both through personal environmental practices and through initiatives and curriculum implemented within their school communities.
