U HETV , BISHOP QUIGLEY HIGH scHooL Ellghwmii g. 1, K From the establishment of the first academy fSt. Jo- aim of the Sisters of Mercy in their secondary schools has been to foster ideals which will bring about the devel- opment of the perfect Catholic woman. Mount Mercy Academy, opposite Cazenovia Park in Buffalo, was organized in 1904. In that year Sister Mary Borgia and Sister Mary Theodosia welcomed seven acad- , seph's, Buffaloj in 1858 down to the present day, the emy girls to the two large rooms of the temporary high school. In September, 1911, the first students, prede- cessors of hundreds to follow, entered a new building to avail themselves of the opportunity to receive a thor- oughly Catholic education. The year 1957 began a new chapter in the history of Mount Mercy Academy. In September of that year an imposing building of modern architecture, with em- phasis on simplicity and utility, and which represented an expenditure of a million dollars, was opened. This building-a dream fulfilled-was made possible by the courage and sacrifice of the Sisters of Mercy in assuming such a heavy financial burden, and through the generous support of their many friends. His Excellency, the Most Reverend Joseph A. Burke, said on the occasion of the blessing of the building, September 29, 1957: This build- ing bears a message of faith, of hope, and of charity. With great pride in his heart, the Reverend Cornelius F. Killeen made the following statement to the first grad- uating class of St. Mary's High School, Niagara Falls, in 1931: I see in these young people what they promised to be if I would give a four years' course at St. Mary's. In not one thing have they failed. Therefore, I say, without hesitation, that we are proud of their record. Father Killeen was grateful that he had allowed himself, in 1928, to be convinced that a group of students should continue their high school work in the parochial school building under the guidance of Sister Mary Joan and Sister Mary Berenice. Since that date St. Mary's has prospered. Now she is to have a new school-a bigger and greater St. Mary's-one that will continue the tra- ditions held sacred by students and alumnae. In 1946, Fulton Street was the scene of another Mercy milestone. Bishop Quigley High School was formally opened. For a few years classes were conducted in a few rooms of St Brigids parochial school In March, 1953, the diocese erected a new school, a three-story brick and stone structure From the very first day, the girls at Quigley have appreciated the privilege that is theirs to attend classes where the basic principles of Christ in social living are impressed May these schools carry on all the traditions of the past and continue to graduate young women who will be a credit to their Catholic training young women who have souls burning with apostolic zeal young women h will help restore all things to Christ ' lg- ,am - I , K . . , . . ,gym xj.,,WV.,. .,,, ,.. rj jg ' . -L h A .
