Let Your Faith Come Alive Through
WORKS OF MERCY!
"Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead" (James 2:17).
Below is the 2016-2017 High School Confirmation Works of Mercy Schedule. It is in giving that we receive, and sometimes we receive far more than we could ever give. And so it is with a life of Mercy! The more open our hearts become to a life of love through the sincere gift of self, the more we not only discover our deepest sense of self and the great dignity of every human being, but also - behind it all - the abiding presence of Christ in our midst. The Works of Mercy are an encounter with Jesus Christ, flowing through our own hearts and present in the hearts of those we serve.
