I was very fortunate to have been taught by the Sisters of Mercy at Saint Francis Xavier Academy in Vicksburg, MS for 12 years, graduating in the Class of 1959.
Ever since Catherine McAuley opened the first House of Mercy in Dublin, Ireland on this day in 1827, women and girls have been cared for, educated, and empowered by Sisters of Mercy all across the globe.
I received a call from Theresa about her husband Chuck, and she told me that the Doctors are amazed that he came through two strokes, seizures, blood clots, and blockage. While in the hospital he was on a walker but when he got to their friend's house (where they are staying for the time being) he ditched it and started walking. He can walk over two miles now but has problems with his speech and of course can't drive yet. Theresa said to thank everyone for all your prayers and get well cards sent to him. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts as prayers because he has a long recovery road ahead of him and of course Theresa has her health issues as well.
