Chung Tsai 's blog ::I never let school get in the way of my education.
Frances Warde met Catherine McAuley when she was 17 years old. Catherine was 49 years old then and had opened the first House of Mercy on Baggot Street in Dublin. She had not yet started her religious community. In fact, she had no intention of doing so. Frances was a friend of Catherine's niece, Mary McAuley, which is how she came to know Catherine. Frances loved the social life that she had in Dublin but felt that there was more to life than that. A priest suggested that she donate her time to Catherine's House of Mercy. Catherine McAuley finally consented to the Bishop's request that she enter the novitiate of the Sisters of the Presentation. She took two companions with her and left Frances Warde, then a lay person, in charge of the House of Mercy. A year after Catherine was professed, Frances joined them. That was in 1832. They were known as the Congregation of Our Lady of Mercy. The friendship between Frances and Catherine was so strong that Catherine hesitated to send Frances away from her to become the head of one of the new foundations that were being requested every day. Even so, Catherine appointed Frances as the first superior of the Carlow foundation. Frances went on to establish three more foundations in Ireland before coming to America. The Bishop of Pittsburgh asked the Sisters of Mercy to come to his diocese in the United States which they did in 1843, two years after the death of Catherine McAuley. Frances, at age 33, was the leader of the first seven Sisters of Mercy to go to the New World, specifically to Pittsburgh, their first mission in the United States. At one point, she had to accompany her Sisters to Chicago to open a House of Mercy. Traveling by stagecoach, they had to wear secular dress and to watch out for attacks by the Know-Nothings, an anti-Catholic group that were a danger to religious. Frances started a foundation in Manchester, New Hampshire which she appeared to love the most and where she served for 26 years. Bishop Timon of Buffalo appealed to Frances to send Sisters of Mercy to his Buffalo diocese. Frances Warde's work in the United States far overshadowed what Catherine accomplished in her short lifetime. Of course, it is Catherine's spirit which is infused in all the Houses of Mercy around the world. During the Civil War, the Sisters of Mercy nursed both Union and Confederate soldiers. President Lincoln commissioned a painting of the Sisters of Mercy with the wounded soldiers. There are many duplicates available, but the original has been lost. Also, the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. has a beautiful window dedicated to Our Lady of Mercy with Catherine McAuley and Frances Warde at her feet. Of the original seven Sisters who were sent to the New World, six are buried in the Sisters of Mercy Cemetery in Latrobe, PA. Only Sister Frances Warde's body is in Manchester, New Hampshire. Efforts to bring her to Latrobe have failed. Manchester does not want to give her up. The Sisters of Mercy conduct colleges, secondary schools, elementary schools, academies and business schools, hospitals and schools of nursing, child care centers, social service centers, homes for the aged, residents for women, retreat houses and night refuges, catechetical centers and numerous individual apostolates. There are more Convents of Mercy in America than in all other countries in the world combined. The majority of American convents trace their origin directly to Frances Warde.
