In 1831, Venerable Catherine McAuley founded
the Sisters of Mercy in Ireland to serve the
poor, sick, and ignorant. The Mercy Sisters came
to Nebraska in 1864. They were the first women
religious to come to the territory. From 1922 to
1936, the Sisters taught at St. Joseph School in
Friend. From 1926 to 1998, they served at
Blessed Sacrament School in Lincoln. Sister Mary
Schorer, who serves at Saint Mary Parish in
Lincoln, is from Blessed Sacrament Parish,
Lincoln. Sister Mary Christelle Macaluso and
Sister Mary Kathleen Barney (deceased) are also
natives of the Lincoln Diocese.
