Part of Marian devotion, said at the end of Catholic prayers. Usually followed by "pray for us." Can be very stirring...

A place where you send your kids as punishment. They usually leave hating going to church, the day Thursday, or leave with many mental illnesses.

The all girls school that everyone passes by but doesnt realize is a school cause it looks like an insane asylum. Everyone thinks of them as whores because they all pretty much have passed 3rd base. The "brother" school McQuaid is where all the girls look for guys. Mercy girls get mad though when girls from public schools take a guy from there because they have a co-ed school. All of the girls roll their skirts and aren't called sluts because girls who don't roll are weird asf. The girls wear expensive shoes and go shopping a lot even though during the school year they wear uniforms. Ramen is a big part of the culture there. Everybody is "friends" with everyone, and talks mad shit bout eachother but it's okay cause everybody's friends. They wear their hair in messy buns because why try with no boys. Once in a while you walk into the bathrooms and hear some lesbians. Everybody acts really religious but you can tell by all the partying and boys that they aren't. The girls in the Brighton NY district uses mad fake tanning shit. Especially during the winter everyone looks orange and streaky. The cheer girls are the most chill girls you'll meet, they don't really give two shits. The track girls though are goody two shoes. Everyone gets a lot of homework and is failing spanish and chem. Also none of the homework gets done but it's okay cause it's Mercy. They only have 150 days of school and summer starts in May so the 10k/year tuition is totally worth it.
guy 1: "dude she's hot, what school does she go to?"
guy 2: "looks like a mercy girl"
guy 1: "Imma go get her snap, you know how those girls from Our Lady of Mercy are"

a concrete statue of the virgin mary which is backed by a shell shaped form. Frequently seen on the front lawns of the faithful.In this incarnation she looks disturbingly like something found in shellfish. Frequently the shell shaped back is painted light .blue to make the statue stand out more
