HCA Florida Mercy Hospital Invites Community to 75th Anniversary Mercy Mass

HCA Florida Mercy Hospital will host its 75th Anniversary Mercy Mass on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, in honor of the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy, the hospital’s patroness. This year’s Diamond Jubilee Celebration will be held outdoors, bayside at HCA Florida Mercy Hospital, returning to its traditional setting after several years indoors due to COVID precautions.

The evening begins at 6 p.m. with the Holy Rosary, followed by Holy Mass at 6:30 p.m., celebrated by His Excellency, The Most Reverend Archbishop Thomas G. Wenski. The Feast of Our Lady of Mercy is observed annually by Catholics worldwide, recognizing her intercession as a source of strength for those facing physical, psychological or spiritual challenges. The community gathering unites patients, families and neighbors in prayer and reflection.

“The Mercy Mass is a tradition that reflects our mission to care for the whole person — body, mind and spirit,” said Allyssa Tobitt, chief executive officer at HCA Florida Mercy Hospital. “We look forward to welcoming the community to join us in honoring Our Lady of Mercy.”

The community is invited to attend this special celebration. Registration is available at https://www.hcafloridahealthcare.com/locations/mercy-hospital/calendar/event-details/a0scw0000008BRJAA2
