'A H0US6 of Mercy'' by Lydia Harrison It’s all about a high school. One of which we know. That had a seed planted, And it began to grow. This seed it did establish, A grand foundation. That soon became a building, Of great admiration. It was Catherine McAuley, Of whom I will tell. Who started a House of Mercy, In Ireland it did dwell. She looked for places where She was needed, she took herself there. In order to provide of her services, To show that she did care. The work soon became an impact, A very heavy load. She needed other women. To help her down this road. And then she formed an organization. The Sisters of Mercy was its name. There place in the midst of Dublin, To America next it came. Some hundred years later. That same seed was branching out. But somehow, somewhere. It would have to sprout. Rev. Thomas E. Molloy, A most prominent man. Sought out to building a catholic high school. Yes, that was his plan. And so this seed was watered And it was nourishly fed, This seed began to sprout. And was built in Riverhead. It started with forty-seven students. And 5 (five) sisters was all. But the growth of this school, To be, would soon be very tall. — continued —
