Deepening Mercy Spirituality in our Schools: A Guide for Educators

Please join us for a virtual presentation on Mercy spirituality from Angie Simonetti and Sandy Flaherty, both members of the Religion Department at Mercy High School (Burlingame, California). The presentation will be held on March 21, 2022, 4-5:30 pm ET.

The workshop will cover the four key characteristics of Mercy spirituality: action and contemplation, hospitality, divine providence and service. Practical suggestions will be provided to amplify and infuse Mercy spirituality into academic and campus ministry programs. The workshop is intended for school administrators, theology/religion teachers and campus ministers, though all are welcome to attend. A flyer to distribute and/or post is available here.
