and let perpetual light shine upon them.

OLM School 8th Grade Altar Servers served the Mass.
East Greenwich, RI - Our Lady of Mercy School held its first First Friday Mass of the Holy Spirit for the new school year on Friday, September 6, at 9:00 am in the OLM Church. With 8th graders serving as lectors, altar servers, and hosts, the Mass of the Holy Spirit also formally installed new and returning teachers and staff. Father Bernard Healey also installed OLM’s new Vice Principal, Jennifer Ellis, who begins her first year in the new position. Concelebrating the Mass was St. Francis de Sales Pastor Father David Procaccini. Following the Mass, 8th graders and school families gathered in the gym for a collation as they celebrated their final “First First Friday” as OLM students. OLM students and staff gather for Mass weekly, as well as the First Friday of each month, marking a tradition in the Catholic church that dates back to the last decades of the 17th century, when Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary and spoke to her of His Sacred Heart.
With a tradition of excellence in Catholic education since 1951, Our Lady of Mercy School supports its students as they strive to be the saints and scholars God calls them to be. Accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, the Pre-K through Grade 8, co-educational Catholic school located in East Greenwich, RI, offers its students the opportunity to pursue excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts in a nurturing environment built upon the teachings of the Catholic Church.
New OLM School Vice-Principal recites the Oath of Fidelity.
