MACS with Mercy launched its third year with help from the Black Student Union Club. The program is a joint effort between Mother McAuley High School, Alderman Matt O’Shea of Chicago’s 19th Ward, and Mercy Circle, a not-for-profit continuing care
retirement community sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas located near the school.
In September, students and residents painted wooden trivets shaped like apples as a gift for families who are served by Pat’s Pantry. MACS with Mercy is an intergenerational program that aims to brighten the lives of others. Each month, students from a different club at McAuley visit the seniors.
