Mission Update: Parochial Students Prove There Is Power In Numbers

Parochial Students Prove There Is Power In Numbers

There is power in numbers and this maxim certainly held true when a group of Mercy Academy students teamed up with another nineteen students from Mother MCAuley Liberal Arts High School in Chicago for an afternoon of outdoor spring cleaning at Wayside Christian Mission's Hotel Louisville on West Broadway!   Blessed with sunshine and mild temperatures, these girls busied themselves scrubbing brick pavement beneath the hotel portico and cleaning trash and debris from the hotel grounds!  Passing through Louisville on this pleasant afternoon, our visiting Chicago students were on their way to an Appalachian service project scheduled during their spring break from classes!  Under the supervision of Art Sheridan and Mercy Academy's Rick Blackwell, the students and their chaperones did a superb job and everyone appeared to be having a good time working as a team!  While we are used to seeing our good friend Rick Blackwell and his Mercy Academy girls routinely serving at Wayside Christian Mission, we were equally delighted meeting our brand new friends from Chicago!
