First and foremost in a Mercy
Sister’s mind is assisting others
and so it is with Sisters of
Mercy in this area.
Sr. Cynthia and Sr. Catherine
are only two of many seeking to
minister to others. Like many of
the unretired Sisters, they
choose to live in apartments or
homes throughout the area with
permission from the Mercy
Provincialate.
Sr. Cynthia March is director
of Project REMAIN, Reesta-
blishment of Mercy Action in
Neighborhoods. In 1972, the
huge convent across the street
from St. Mary’s in Wilkes-Barre
was destroyed by the flood. In
1977, to continue their service to
the elderly, the Sisters put
together Project REMAIN. At
first, their focus was on only the
elderly with most of them living
in the low income high rises, but
last year they began outreach to
the poor.
The service to the elderly is
on a one-to-one basis with the
Sisters providing personal serv-
ice, helping them become inde-
pendent in their homes, provid-
ing transportation for medical
treatment, even assisting the
elderly with confusing mail.
They become a member of the
older person’s family, someone
to be dependent upon.
Sr. Cynthia and her co-work-
ers are sponsored by the Mercy
Community and serve without
salary. They volunteer them-
selves to service the poor and
the elderly.
Sr. Catherine Winters, R.N.,
formerly a teacher in the nurs-
ing department at College Mis-
ericordia, is one of those Mercy
Sisters now working side by side
with others in society at Nesbitt
Memorial Hospital in Kingston.
Sister Catherine is paid a regu-
lar salary for her work at the
hospital, however, she never
sees that money. Instead, she
turns over her salary regularly
to the Mercy Community.
Sister Catherine joined the
staff at Nesbitt in August of this
year and is presently working in
the obstetrics department. She
enjoys her work since she
recently contributed some chap-
ters to a book ‘Caring For
Children” which will be pub-
lished in the future.
In addition to helping the
Mercy community financially,
Sr. Catherine is overjoyed at
her acceptance by the hospital
administration and staff and
more education. She is happy to
be back among the patients in a
family-centered environment
and is glad for the opportunity
to practice what she has been
teaching for many years.
“There is a great reward in
seeing a new mother with a
healthy baby and the joy of both
parents at the birth of a child,”
said Sr. Catherine. “It is heart-
ening to see both parents
enrolled in prenatal and the
classes for the care of the
baby.”
The most satisfaction derived
by their ministry of service by
both Sr. Cynthia and Sr. Cather-
ine is two-fold — they are fulfill-
ing their vow to serve others in
society and, at the same time,
Sr. Cynthia is aware that Sr.
Catherine and others like her,
are gainfully employed in posi-
tions which help the Mercy
Community financially in sup-
port of ministries.
Today’s Sisters of Mercy
serve with intensity, tenderness,
insight, tenacity of service and
commitment to compassionate
service — the same qualities by
which their founder, Catherin
McAuley, was driven more than
a century ago.

cramped conditions in the third

Superintendent Gerald Wycal-

parents before the next board
session, said one possibility
could be the creation of another
second grade to keep the pri-
