4 Wf- ,llrfizfifies MERCY ST. lSIDORE'S 44 ST. LUKE MANOR A particular phase of mercy is the protection of young girls. Mother McAuley realized this and established in many of her foundations, homes to which girls of good character might be admitted. Such a home is Casa Miseri- cordia on North Street in Buffalo, opened in 1918. In this home, young women who are obliged to be away from their own family circle live happily in a refined and re- ligious atmosphere, subject to the guidance and influence of the Sisters. Another work of mercy performed by the Sisters of Mercy in our diocese is the conducting of a retreat house for women. On Sunday, January 17, 1954, the Most Reverend joseph A. Burke oiliciated at the dedication of the Mother of Mercy Retreat House. Each week finds a number of women experiencing the great joy of spend- ing forty-five hours in prayerful silence. The senior class of St. Mary's has, for the last few years, had the privi- lege of making their annual retreat in this lovely man- sion on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo. On October 20, 1954, the Most Reverend Bishop blessed the cornerstone of St. Luke Manor, Batavia, a home for the chronically ill. Here twenty patients can receive the constant attention of women dedicated to the care of the sick. In 1957 the Sisters of Mercy accepted their first foreign mission. On Monday, February 4, 1957, four sisters: Sister Miriam John Qsuperiorj, Sister M. Mark, Sister M. Harriet, and Sister M. Christina left Buffalo for a long trip across the Pacific Ocean to Tubod, Mindinao, Philip- pine Islands. Seven weeks later they arrived at their destination, happy and eager to begin their work in St. Isidore High School. They are there but a year, but in that short time they have endeared themselves to the natives. They eagerly await the day when more Mercy nuns will join them. There is no end to Mercy. gf- -ez -new-I 34 .J-if
