Faith
As a Catholic School, we provide students with an environment imbued with love, helping them develop their ethics and social commitment.
We also celebrate Catholic liturgies and offer preparation for Baptism, Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation.
By integrating religion classes with other subjects, we create a comprehensive and holistic approach, demonstrating that faith encompasses all aspects of our lives and our learning.
At Our Lady of Mercy School (OLM), faith and Catholic values are at the heart of everything we do. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, and with the orientation of the Holy See, our mission is to nurture not only academic excellence but also the spiritual and moral growth of each student.
Catholic values such as compassion, respect, honesty, and service are integrated into daily life, helping students develop a strong moral foundation and a sense of responsibility to others. Religious education encourages a deeper relationship with God and fosters a vibrant faith community.
Through service projects and a commitment to social justice, students learn to live out their faith in meaningful ways, becoming thoughtful, caring, and active members of society.
At OLM, we believe that a faith-filled education prepares students not just for success in the world, but for a life rooted in purpose, integrity, and love. Faith is not just taught – it is lived every day.
