In Sympathy to the Families of:
Altar Flowers MemorialEach week you may honor a loved one with a giJ of $150 to dedicate the floral arrangement that adorns our Sanctuary.
Memorial GiftsAt the death of a loved one, many choose in lieu of flowers to encourage friends and family to make a donation to a special charity or cause. Our Lady of Mercy has nourished the spiritual life of so many parishioners and those throughout the Diocese who come here. A Memorial GiJ to our Traditions for Tomorrow Capital Campaign is a wonderful way to acknowledge the lives of our beloved dead with a giJ of loving generosity to the church that has been such a spiritual home. Ms. Deanie Smith can discuss beautiful ways for you to remember your loved one.
Consider adding a planned gi. in your last will and testament to remember Our Lady of Mercy.

Mother of Mercy, at this most critical time, we entrust
the United States of America to your loving care.
Most Holy Mother, we beg you to reclaim this land for
the glory of your Son. Overwhelmed with the burden
of the sins of our nation, we cry to you from the
depths of our hearts and seek refuge in your
motherly protection.
Look down with mercy upon us and touch the hearts
of our people. Open our minds to the great worth of
human life and the responsibilities that accompany
human freedom.
Free us from the falsehoods that lead to the evil of
abortion and threaten the sanctity of family life.
Grant our country the wisdom to proclaim that
God’s law is the foundation on which this nation was
founded, and that He alone is the True Source of our
cherished rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
O Merciful Mother, give us the courage to reject the
culture of death and the strength to build a new Culture
of Life.
Amen
