Welcome to the website of the Institute of Our Lady of Mercy
As Autumn takes a hold of our countryside it is more than time to reflect on all that is good in our world. We have recently watched the Earthshot Prize, an idea from Prince William, about the rebuilding of our natural world. The five prize winners were all worthy recipients of their awards in the following categories:
protect and restore nature;
clean our air;
revive our oceans;
