A Day of Kindness: Visiting St. Theresa Mercy Home
Our visit to St. Theresa Mercy Home was one of the most wonderful
experiences we have shared as a class. When our school organized this trip,
we were excited, but we never imagined how meaningful it would turn out to
be. The moment we arrived, we were greeted with friendly smiles of the elders
that made us feel welcome and happy.
We spent time interacting with the residents, and we enjoyed listening to
them. They spoke to us with so much love and kindness that we immediately
felt connected to them. This is a beautiful memory which we will all fondly
remember. Being with them reminded us how important it is to share our
kindness, care, and joy with others.
One of the most memorable parts of the visit was when we all sang songs
together. The whole room brightened as everyone joined in, and soon we
were clapping, singing, and smiling side by side. After that, we danced
together, and the laughter we shared filled the entire hall. These simple
moments of togetherness made the day truly special.
Before leaving, we gathered to pray for the residents of the Mercy Home. It
was a peaceful and touching moment, bringing all our hearts together in
gratitude to God. The kindness we felt around them made the experience
even more meaningful.
Our outreach to St. Theresa Mercy Home taught us the beauty of compassion,
respect, and togetherness. It was not just a school activity but a memory we
will always cherish and it will bring a smile to our face every time we think
about it. We returned with full hearts, thankful for the chance to brighten
someone’s day—and to have ours brightened in return.
