Our Patroness

Our Lady of Mercy,

Teach us your ways and

lead us to Jesus.

Amen

The patroness and titular head of the School is Our Lady of Mercy, one of the many titles accorded to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Among Catholics, this special designation refers to Mary’s distinct role as intercessor and mediator who implores the divine favor of God who is the Source of all goodness and mercy.

Since the establishment of OLMS in 1997, the School community has continued to rely on its patroness for guidance, protection, and inspiration in fulfilling the school’s responsibility and mission.

The feast day of Our Lady of Mercy is celebrated every 24th of September.
