St. Vincent’s Academy is the oldest mercy school in the world and has a long history of mercy values. We recently asked our faculty and staff what they think of when they think of the word Mercy at St. Vincent’s Academy and what St. Vincent’s means to them. We will highlight these each week.
Here is today’s highlighted answer from a member of the Advancement team, Nancy Schreck ‘71, on what St. Vincent’s Academy means to her: “Simply put, I love SVA!. From the time I was a little girl, my aunt and former Principal, Sister Fidelis, had my uniform ready and waiting for me to wear. My mother spent 47 years here creating a legacy of music. Now, it’s my turn — 38 years and still going strong. This is my home away from home. SVA & Mercy has built me!”
We would love for you to answer these questions for us too! Send your responses to [email protected] with a photo!
