August 31, 2017
Damascus College is celebrating 50 years of Mercy Education on its beautiful campus with a celebration on Saturday, October 28.
All current and past students, families and staff of Damascus College, and its foundation Colleges – Sacred Heart, St Paul’s and St Martin’s in the Pines, are invited to attend a celebration to mark this important occasion.
