This episode of "A Great Woman and Her Time" tells the story of Sister Mary Frances Warde, the American founder of the Sisters of Mercy, and one of Catherine McAuley's most beloved companions. Warde's biographer has described her as "one of the greatest servants of humanity whoever lived," an extraordinary claim justified by her astonishing record of establishing institutions that served to promote the welfare of others. She founded over 100 convents, schools, hospitals, orphanages, and other institutions, which collectively have touched the lives of millions of Americans over the past 170 years. This is the eighth and final episode of a multipart series produced by WXAV, 88.3.

This episode of "A Great Woman and Her Time" examines the spiritual beliefs and practices that animated the Sisters of Mercy. In keeping with Catholic doctrine, Catherine McAuley put Jesus Christ at the center of the Mercy order, urging her sisters to imitate Christ. This required the sisters to sacrifice themselves for others, while accepting God's will with gratitude and obedience. This was a demanding standard, yet Catherine and other sisters recruited pious women to the order in large numbers over the next century. This is the seventh episode of a multipart series produced by WXAV 88.3FM

This episode of "A Great Woman and Her Time" examines the challenges that Sisters of Mercy confronted within the Irish Catholic Church when attempting to establish a religious order that permitted women considerable autonomy.

This is the sixth episode of a multipart series produced by WXAV 88.3FM.
