As #Pride month ends today, a reminder that our LGBTQ sisters and brothers deserve love, fellowship and mercy every month.
Our founder Catherine McAuley said it best, "if we love God, we will undoubtedly love our neighbor also; they are as cause and effect."

Today is a historic day with the inauguration of Kamala Harris, the first woman, Black woman and South Asian woman to be Vice President of the United States. As a cohort of three all girls’ schools, it is monumental to witness such an important day in our history.
Symone Sanders, alumna of @MercyHighSchool Omaha, was recently appointed chief spokeswoman for the Office of the Vice President-Elect. What an accomplishment!
