Mercy High School STL
Class of 1975

Mercy Heroes Fund

​​

Thanks to the generosity of classmates, the Mercy High School Class of 1975 recently made a $500.00 donation to the Mercy Heroes Fund.  Created by the Mercy High Alumni and Sisters of Mercy in February 2022., The Mercy Heroes Fund provides frontline healthcare workers-employees who have direct contact with patients (e.g., nurses, ER doctors, chaplains, social workers, receptionists, housekeepers, and dietary workers, etc.) a full day, free-of-charge, at the Mercy Conference and Retreat Center.  The work they do every day can be stressful, exhausting and sometimes heartbreaking.  This benefit provides them with a well-deserved respite day in a peaceful setting.  Beneficiaries of the Mercy Heroes Fund are provided with their own guest room with a private bathroom, a box lunch, and a personal greeting from the Sisters of Mercy who reside and work at Mercy Center. They also have access to the chapel, Heritage Lounge, patio, and courtyard, and the 72 beautiful, wooded acres on the campus with walking paths, a labyrinth, and pollinator garden.  The Mercy Heroes Fund continues today through the generosity of Mercy High School Alumni and community support.​​

​Dear Mercy High Alumni:

I can't thank you enough for sponsoring the "Mercy Hero" Retreat!  I was so thrilled to be picked for this retreat.  My day was so relaxing and calm.  I had an opportunity for personal and spiritual reflection and time to put things back in perspective.  I feel refreshed and inspired!

I had never experienced walking through a labyrinth like one one on the Mercy Center grounds, but now I can say that it was an uplifting experience.  If my backyard at home was larger, I would make a labyrinth!

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity!

Peace be with you,

Debbie

A Mercy Hospice Nurse and Mercy Hero
