Thanksgiving Pie and Cake Sale

Our Annual Thanksgiving Pie and Cake Sale began last week. Attached to the email for your convenience is an order form which must be returned to the school office no later than Tuesday, November 14th. Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Academy will be partnering with Wendy’s Bakery and Sweets located on Metropolitan Avenue. 

Payment must be made in full with the order form and all checks are to be made payable to the school.

** No late orders will be accepted due to the company’s high volume.  Delivery of the pies will be on Monday, November 20, 2023.

Our Food Pantry is organizing Thanksgiving baskets for those in need. Their greatest need is pies for a delicious dessert. Please indicate on the order form if you would like to donate a pie to our Food Pantry.

Deck the Halls

Our Second Annual Deck the Halls is on December 3!  Last year’s event was a great success, raising close to $14,000.  We need volunteers to make this event even better!

Here’s how you can help:

• Do you have 30 minutes?  Volunteer to sell Event Tickets and Raffles after one of the weekend Masses in November.  We need 4 volunteers for about 30 minutes after each Mass (Masses are Saturday 5 pm, Sunday 9, 10:30, and noon)
• Do you have an hour or more on Saturday, December 2? We need help setting up and decorating the Hall the day before the event, from 10-2.  Come at any time, stay as long as you can!
• Will you be at the event? We will need volunteers at the event to check people in, sell raffles and 50/50, and help clean up. You will still be able to enjoy the festivities!

All volunteers will receive a Dress Down Pass for your student(s)!
