Drawing close to their Divine Model, Jesus Christ, they exercise a vital influence on the student's life. Firmly imbued with the principles of Christ, wholly charged with the fire of His zeal, thoroughly permeated with His Spirit, they guide their students in the Way, direct them in the truth, and lead them to eternal life. In the Diocese of Buffalo the Sisters of Mercy supervise a vast educational program from kindergarten to college level. They conduct 27 elementary schools, three full and four part- time secondary schools, with a total registration of over 13,500 students. Each week the Sisters teach religious doctrine to pupils attending the public schools. The music department established at Mount Mercy in 1902 has flourished. At the present time a number of students avail themselves of the opportunity to study piano, organ, violin, cello or voice. In many convents throughout the diocese there are well-established classes in piano. Mercy Hospital conducts an extensive educa- tional program. In addition to a school of nurs- ing, there are courses for X-Ray technicians, operating room supervisors, laboratory techni- cians, and medical record librarians. An Intern Education Program affiliated with Georgetown University is in operation at the hospital. Niagara Falls has four elementary schools conducted by the Sisters of Mercy: St. Mary of the Cataract, Our Lady of the Rosary, St. Teresa of the Infant Jesus, and Our Lady of Mount Carmel. cv-Y-V' 1.
