Montgomery Catholic held its Annual Works of Mercy Day and Joint Elementary Field Day on Friday, March 22. Students, faculty, and volunteers from all 3 campuses gathered together to spend the day in prayer, service, and fun!
The day began with nearly 1,000 people joining together for school-wide Mass in the High School gym. After Mass, our elementary students enjoyed indoor field day throughout our entire Middle and High School Campus! They played dodgeball, human ring toss with inflatables, egg relay, potato sack races, pass the chicken, and more!
As our elementary students were enjoying field day, our middle and high school students were hard at work serving the community as they participated in their Annual Works of Mercy Day.
We had over 200 of our high school students go out into the community to volunteer at multiple service locations, including Mercy House, Catholic Social Services, Montgomery Children’s Center, Hope Inspired Ministries, Sav-a-Life, Life on Wheels, Camp Grandview, Montgomery Food Bank, East YMCA, and more.
While our high schoolers were in the community, our entire middle school student body performed acts of service around the school campus. Some of these projects included weeding and laying fresh pine straw around campus, filling Ziploc bags with toiletries to hand out to those in need in our community, cleaning middle school classrooms, organizing storage closets, and more.
It was an amazing day for these students and it wouldn’t have been possible without all of our wonderful teachers, staff, and parent volunteers who made it happen!
