Welcome everyone! We are excited to offer two programs for faith formation this year at Our Lady of Mercy. The first is our traditional program, English offered on Sundays

Our program is designed for children in kindergarten through eighth grade. We encourage continuous participation as the formation of our faith is an ongoing process. Each year the children are presented with a different aspect of our faith according to their age level, including preparation for the sacraments.
We welcome you and your child / children to our Catholic Faith Formation program. We look forward to partnering with your family in providing a strong faith based religious education program.

Mother Teresa’s (little known) Prayer for Families
 

"This awesome prayer for families is written by Mother Teresa. We love how positive and joyful it is, yet how it encourages the family to persevere through hard times! Mother Teresa once said:

 “Let us love one another as God loves each of us. And where does this love
 begin? In your own home. How does it begin? By praying together.”

 Her prayer for families is a great way to jump-start devotion and a spirit of service in your home (or reinvigorate it)!

 Mother Teresa’s prayer would be perfect for the whole family to memorize!
 Your kids can color the companion coloring page to this beautiful prayer!
 Once your kids have finished the coloring page, you can hang this for all to read!

 Kids will gradually become familiar with the words by seeing it every day!
 St. Teresa of Kolkata used to say too: “The family that prays together, stays
 together.” I hope this year of Faith formation, we come to know more each other
and share more moments together, specially at the celebration of Holy Mass.
God bless you."

Fr. Cervantes.
