Mercy School For Special Learning joins AOC as we celebrate Autism Awareness Month. Mercy’s mission is unique as one of the few Catholic schools in our country that provides a Catholic education for children and young adults. The staff at Mercy afford their students the best opportunity to reach their utmost potential. Mercy’s mission is the embodiment of the Catholic Church’s doctrinal teaching on the Gospel and the sanctity of human life.


Jim Friend welcomes Beth Grys, Principal, Mark Napierkowski, Director of Development and Chris Birkhead, a longtime Mercy Board Member to this conversation. Learn more about Mercy by visiting their websiteFacebookTwitter, or Instagram pages.
