The Academy of Our Lady of Guam celebrated Mercy Day on September 24th during a Mass at the Agana Cathedral-Basilica in honor of the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy, Mother Catherine McAuley. This liturgical celebration helped bring us to a deeper appreciation of the virtues shared to us by the Mercy Sisters, who have been examples of humility, love, and mercifulness to the women of the Academy for 60 years.
After Mass, the Sisters of Mercy presented Louise Tapia, a Junior at the Academy of Our Lady, with the Mercy Action Marianas Limited (MAML) Scholarship, which provides tuition assistance here at the Academy. Congratulations Louise! |
|
Also during the Eucharistic Celebration, the Sisters of Mercy present in the assembly renewed their commitment as instruments of God’s loving mercy by reciting the Act of Consecration to Our Lady of Mercy.
