Divine Compassion Award

The Divine Compassion Award is given annually to a staff member, parent, or alumni whose life embraces our school’s core virtues of Courage and Compassion.
Founded in 1924 as St. Mary’s School, the sisters of Divine Compassion became the bedrock of Catholic education in our area. It was the sisters who, first at St. Mary’s and then at Kennedy, who taught generations of young people by word and deed about the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Divine Compassion medal was established to recognize someone who embodies their spirit of Christian compassion and a love of learning.
Lisa and Patrick Sherry will be accepting the award on behalf of their daughter, Olivia Sherry ’19, posthumously.
