Mercy Day Mass

24 SEPTEMBER 2021 MERCY DAY MASS

We asked Julie Cameron, Marketing and Community Relations Manager, Mercedes College, to share her thoughts and reflections on this year’s Mercy Day celebrations at the College. “The College community began the day with a beautiful Mass at the Cathedral celebrating Our Lady of Mercy Feast Day. It was wonderful to have so many Sisters of Mercy attend this celebration.

Following the Mass and after recess, the students took part in various activities set-up by each year group. Lots of fun was had and the sun was kind enough to shine. Activities included a variety of inflatables set-up on the oval, a chocolate wheel, dipping dots van and ‘guess the teacher baby photo’ competition.

The day ended with the highly anticipated Mercy Day Concert in the Coady Sports Hall. Mr Cook was MC for the concert and did a wonderful job. One of the highlights was the Head of Year production of “Annie”, a variety of talented musicians and singers, and a creative choreographed piece presented by our Year 12s.

The Year 12s also did their annual skit based on “Gossip Girl”. The Prefects did a great job making the skit full of humour and wit. All acts displayed the amazing talents of our Mercedes students and contributed enormously to the success of the day.

Mercy Day 2021 was a fun and relaxed event, and thoroughly enjoyed by all,” said Julie.
