"How do we expect to take up our cross and follow Christ if we are not to meet with it in those whom we are associated?" ~Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy

Why the Corporal Works of Mercy?
Having a theme makes our acts of service, which are a critical component of our school identity, more cohesive.
In addition, Christ the King School is affectionately known as one of the Mercy schools in the Des Moines metro. It's a part of our heritage!

Each month, one grade level will sign up for a service project corresponding to the Corporal Work of Mercy associated with that month.
The service project will consist of the following:- Education: A brief synopsis of the Work of Mercy of the month and how it is applied to the service project.
- Prayer: A brief prayer dedicated to the highlighted Work of Mercy to be shared.
- Service: The class will identify their service, create fliers, and it will be posted on the Bulletin Board, School Website, Class Dojo, Church Bulletin and Social Media.

Donate with Out of Uniform Days!
An out of uniform day will be held once a month (typically the last Friday of the month that school is in session). A $1 donation is required to be out of uniform on the designated day. 100% of the proceeds from the Work of Mercy Out of Uniform days are donated to an agency that serves individuals affected by the Work of Mercy of the month.
Watch for more information about the out of uniform days, when, and how to donate via Class Dojo!
