After a combined 135 years of service, the remaining three Sisters of Mercy at St. Paul’s School will be leaving in June. Monsignor Joseph N. Rosie and principal Ryan Killeen are planning a special Mass on Sunday, May 22 to celebrate the Sisters followed by a farewell reception.

Alumni of the school are invited to return for an 11:30 a.m. Mass at St. Paul Church, 214 Nassau Street. Other Sisters and lay faculty who formerly taught at the school will be on hand. The free reception will follow in the Parish Center.

St. Paul’s School was founded by Mercy Sisters who have staffed the faculty in full or in part, continuously since 1880. It will now be staffed entirely by lay teachers.

Sister Terena is still teaching remedial reading and Sister Jane is retired but lives in the convent and is a welcomed visitor. Sister Martha never taught in the school, but served St. Paul Church for 25 years in the visitation ministry.
