MEET OUR OFFICERS
The OLMA Preservation Coalition is a group of dedicated alumnae, parents, and friends who have come together to ensure that Our Lady of Mercy Academy remains a vital force for educating and empowering young women for the next 95 years - in the spirit of Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy Brooklyn.
