A school founded by Rev. Marcel Okonkwo, a devoted priest for 15 years, whose work has been in the full interest and passion of educating children, especially of those from my home in Nigeria who are displaced by attack from the Boko haram, Fulani Herdsman & bandits. As a great promise and interest he has made, this is the academy in the stages of building that will educate children in religion, counseling, and education as a whole; all education will be at no cost to students, whatsoever.
Below, we will keep our parishioners updated with pictures, current/future costs, and all things that pertain to the building of the school.
Our Mission
Divine Mercy Academy is a Catholic School that strives to challenge its students to become young people of integrity, educated in faith, and for justice, committed to academic excellence and services to others. We are dedicated to inspiring our students to develop as conscientious leaders and agents of change who are intellectually distinguished, spiritually uplifting, morally brave, and loving in service to others. We strive to form leaders of understanding, conscience, and compassion who seek to do all things for the greater glory of God--ad maiorem Dei gloriam. Therefore, in order to achieve this, we must do it with one heart and one mind- Cor unum et anima una.
