ORDER OF MERCY INSTITUTIONS.

The Order Of Mercy is one Of the modern
institutions OF The Catholic church, and meets
many of the wants of the present day,
especially the Christian education of the
masses.
Founded in Ireland at the time The Catholics
OF that country were happily freed through the
efforts of the famous Daniil O'COunell from
penal laws under which they so long labOred,
the order has al present academies, parocnial
schools, hospitals homes, orphanages and
induSIrial schools scattered al! eV h. land OF
its bN h, besides numerous houses In England,
the British Colonies and the United States.
The Sisters OF Mercy were introduced into
California by the late Archbishop Alemauy in
1854. In 1857 they opened ST. Mary's Hos
pi al on Stockton street but removed to their
present location, corner Bryant aud First
streets, In 1861. In 1859 he sisters founded
the Magdalen Asylum which WAS located for a
time in Hayes Valley. but was transferred in
1864 TO Potrero avenue. OF this establish
ment, as OF all the good works inaugurated by
the sisters. the late Rev. II. z. Gallagher was
the chief promoter.
The sisters conduct extensive schools in St.
PetrI's aud 81. brendan's parishes in this ciiy
and In ST. Anthony's parish, Fast Oakland,
where they also receive small number OF
boarding pupils Til schools are large. well
lighted and we'll ventilated and have the best

is The Mater Misriicordl9 in which youn z

Besides all the works of mercy in their
own establishments the sisters visit the sick
in their homes and also a number OF public
institutions, as the State prison, jail. House OF
Correction and County Hospital, for The pur-
rose OF instruetiag and comforting their suffer

OF The sisters more highly appreciated.
