Our Easter themed Art and Craft Work  

Despite not being in school, it was even more special to see the great work that was done at home in the lead up to Easter and a reminder to us all of our annual Easter Bonnet Parade and general Easter cheer  ......

On Thursday the 13th of March, the government announced a series of measures aimed at addressing the outbreak of Corona Virus, (Covid -19 in Ireland). Effective from that day, Our Lady of Mercy, as with all schools, were to close until Monday the 30th of March though that date was then extended in an effort to curb the spread of the virus.
