An informal formal evening of fun

20th Anniversary Spirit Gala!

Mercy’s signature fundraising event, the Spirit Gala, is a much-anticipated annual event attended by hundreds of alumnae, donors, friends, and faculty. Over the last 20 years, the Gala has raised millions of dollars in support of the school’s academic program thank to our generous sponsors and attendees. Formal but fun, the Gala is an evening when we gather to celebrate the very best of Mercy.


2023 Spirit Gala!

Save the Date! Saturday, Nov. 4th, 2023

Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women is excited to announce that the 2023 Spirit Gala will be Saturday, November 4th, 2023! Traditionally, our Gala has been held in November, but COVID, like it did with most things, changed our schedule the last few years. We are glad to get back to our roots and hold this extraordinary event in the Fall again!
