Faith formation is an integral part of student life at Our Lady of Mercy School. Accompanied by prayer partners, students participate in weekly Mass prepared by individual classes. Our priests and seminarians are a consistent and visible presence in Mercy classrooms, and our students benefit significantly from their contributions in the academic environment.

Parents will find the teaching of the faith at Mercy is robust. Students have a combination of classroom lessons that impart knowledge about the faith, with many and varied opportunities to practice the faith.  Students will have anywhere from 3 to 5 explicit religion classes per week, where they will study the content for the religion standards for their grade.  In addition,  all students will enjoy participating in weekly Mass on Wednesday mornings at 8:30 am. In 2022, Cardinal Gregory asked all schools to have a special focus on the Eucharist, as the summit and source of our faith. Faculty will receive in-servicing on this topic, along with a review of each of the curriculum standards.

During their weekly Religion classes, Mercy students will study the ADW religion standards content for their grade, as indicated by the links below:
