Students and staff from the Academy of Mary Immaculate and Our Lady of Mercy College return today from their Cambodia Mercy Immersion. Over the past 12 days, 15 students and 3 staff have partnered with local communities, learning the importance of walking with others rather than simply giving to them. At times, the experience was challenging and confronting, yet it was also filled with the joy and resilience of the Khmer people, as well as the richness of our shared humanity. Through shared stories, hands-on service, and cultural exchange, participants deepened their understanding of justice, compassion, and solidarity. Inspired by the vision of Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy, this experience has strengthened the connection between our sister schools and reminded us that living Mercy means standing alongside those most in need.
