Works Of Mercy Program

St. Labre Indian Catholic School

Works of Mercy Service Program

The Works of Mercy program is the community service program in our school. One goal of the program is to empower our students to become people of service throughout their entire lives by performing service every year that they attend St. Labre. It is an opportunity for our students to step outside of themselves by performing service for others that they normally may not serve. A “Work of Mercy” is a project performed for the least and most vulnerable of our society. At St. Labre, we strive to honor our Catholic and Native American identities. As Native Americans, we are taught to respect and honor our brothers and sisters.  As Catholics, our faith in Christ compels us to be the light of the world. Our actions should protect, promote, and defend the dignity of each human person, especially the poor, the vulnerable, the marginalized, the outcast, the suffering, the sick, the exploited, and the unborn. This is a key element of the mission of our school.
