Theology

Overview

The Mercy Tech Theology Department provides students with a greater understanding of the Catholic faith and fuller development of their own spirituality and personal relationship with God.

The students truly live out the charism of Catherine McAuley by their involvement in works of service. All students are required to complete at least 10 hours of community service over the course of each school year. Many of our students give more than the required hours.

Supplementary to the Theology curriculum, opportunities are given to students to participate in activities coordinated by our School Minister.
