Scuia s I 'A MERCY HOSPITAL 4 5, if ., ' KENMORE MERCY ST. JEROME HOSPITAL ww, ' 1 .. N st... N, ,dfyaigbw 0 There is no end to mercy. In 1858 a gift of twenty-five dollars from Bishop Timon to the Sisters at St. Bridget's, Buffalo, purchased medicine to furnish a dispensary for the sick poor, a dis- pensary which became the nucleus of three hospitals now operated by the Sisters of Mercy. In 1904, the Tifft Street Mercy Hospital, accommo- dating thirty patients, was opened. Within a period of twenty-four years over 3,000 patients received loving care, sick bodies found health, sick souls found peace. In 1928, the hospital on Tiift Street yielded to the completely modern and stately Mercy Hospital on Abbott Road. The history of this hospital is still being writteng it will continue to be written as long as Mercy stretches forth her hands to help Christ's suffering poor. At the dedication of St. Jerome Hospital, Batavia, in 1922, Right Reverend Msgr. John J. Nash said, I am sure that the spirit of your foundress, Mother McAuley, will prevail in the years to come, and that the power of this hospital will grow from day to day. This prophecy has been fulfilled. The original hospital, the old Jerome homestead, has been succeeded by a modern well-equipped hospital capable of caring for 150 patients. The hospital also conducts the Catherine McAuley School of Practical Nursing. In 1951, Kenmore Mercy Hospital, equipped to care for one hundred patients, was opened. The ultimate aim of the Sisters is a complete medical center on the twenty- three acres donated by James Sullivan, a former pupil at St. Bridget's. A heliport, one of the few of its kind in the United States, was dedicated in 1954. And now, just seven years after its foundation, Kenmore Mercy is spreading its wings. A new addition, capable of caring for 250 more patients, is being erected. What a magnificent record! Only on the last day when the recording angel opens the Book of Life will men realize what a tremendous power for good these hospitals were and what miracles of grace were performed through the instrumentality of the Sisters, physicians, and nurses therein. Truly there is no end to mercy.
