Save the Dates! Key Mercy Education Events Coming in 2026

Now is the time to start planning! Mercy Education invites our schools to mark their calendars for three significant upcoming events. These gatherings provide valuable opportunities for student and faculty leadership development, formation in the Mercy tradition, and engagement with our Mercy Critical Concern for Women.

Conference of Mercy Student Leaders

June 21-24, 2026 | Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania

Mercy secondary schools may select up to six students to attend this dynamic leadership conference. Ideal candidates include student council members, ministry team leaders, community service corps leaders, and others who would benefit from a deep dive into Mercy leadership development. We recommend selecting rising juniors and seniors who are eager to bring their learning back to their school communities.

Partners in Ministry Leadership Academy

July 20-21, 2026 | Mercy Center, in Belmont, North Carolina

This annual leadership development opportunity is designed for:

• New faculty, staff, administrators, and board members.
• Those new to a Mercy school or seeking renewal in their Mercy commitment.
• Individuals who want to deepen their understanding of the Mercy charism and values.

Participants engage in learning, dialogue and reflection to strengthen their leadership for mission. Who in your school community would benefit most from this experience?

Mercy Education Conference

October 8-9, 2026 | Little Rock Marriott, Little Rock, Arkansas

Themed on women, our annual Mercy Education Conference will offer a powerful opportunity for learning, networking, and collaboration among Mercy educators and leaders.
