 * Operation Katrina **

In August 2005 Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. Several Mercy schools were severely damaged by the hurricane. Mercy schools were asked to host some of the senior students so that they could keep on schedule with their studies. Mercy Vocational High School could not take any students but they still wanted to help. Mercy Vocational High School decided to put their skills to good use and travel to the Gulf Coast to help with the rebuilding.

In April 2006, four faculty members and sixteen students traveled to Pass Christian, MS. There they stayed in an AmeriCorps tent city.Our students worked at Our Mother of Mercy Church and School.
