Ever wish your gift could keep on giving?

A Donor Advised Fund, or DAF, is an easy and meaningful way to give back to your community. It works like a charitable savings account, allowing you to support causes you care about now and in the future. When you make a grant to Mercy Health Foundation through a DAF, you help expand access to compassionate care and support vital health care programs for years to come!

Join Us in the Season of Creation!

Each September through October 4, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Catholics around the world join together to renew “our relationship with our Creator and all creation.”

At Mercy, caring for creation is part of who we are. We’re reducing energy use across our facilities, not only lessening our environmental impact but also allowing more resources to go directly to patient care.

Our caregivers and patients also live this commitment daily—whether it’s through recycling, tending a garden, or supporting conservation efforts.

We invite you to pray with us and share in the celebration. Post a photo in the chat of how you care for creation—your small steps can inspire big change.

Creator of all,
we praise you for the gift of life
and for the faith that unites us in care for our common home
Prince of Peace, through your wounds, teach us to stand in solidarity
with the woundedness of others, of creation, and of the world.
Through your resurrection, make us people of hope—
May we come together as one family, to labor for your peace—
Amen
