Patron saints of the sick and suffering, depicted in a collection of restored stained-glass windows, will look over the Lundy Pavilion at Mercy Medical Center for the next year.

The 'A Light Within' exhibit that opened last week features 16 restored stained-glass windows from the hospital's old chapel, which was torn down after the 2008 flood.

The windows have been in storage since the early 1970s, when the completion of Mercy's new patient tower made the chapel built in 1948 less accessible. After the new chapel was built, the windows -- commissioned pieces of artwork from Daprato Rigali Studios in Chicago -- were no longer needed but were kept intact. 'Religious communities are very astute in keeping history,' said Sister Marilyn Ward, Mercy archivist and director of volunteer services.

 Announcement of publication of a book of poems, Dialogue for Christmas Eve, the third published work of S. M. Edwardine O'Connor, head of the English department at Mercy College, Detroit, Michigan.

The Sisters of Mercy arrived in Belfast from the Mercy foundation house in Baggot Street, Dublin, in 1854, and a year later a second foundation was made in Downpatrick.

In the course of those 150 years, over 350 young women joined these two communities.

The history is told by Marie Duddy rsm and published by Ulster Historical Foundation

This book can be ordered online

The primary goal of Global African Village is to supplement the efforts of the Bagishu people of eastern Uganda by improving the simple water system (wells), the First Aid posts, and the day care facilities that may already exist, to assist vulnerable children and the elderly.
