Sustainability

For a Catholic, Mercy community, sustainability is about protecting our common home and “supporting both a lifestyle and legislation that acknowledge everyone’s right to water and the need to address climate change” (Critical Concerns). This Diploma with Distinction will provide Merion students with a formal plan to reflect on the world, design innovative ways to allow life to flourish, and become stewards of creation.
