Faculty Lecture Series: John Quinn, Building Bridges: Mercy Ministries in Newport since 1854
While the Sisters of Mercy are best known in Newport for sponsoring Salve Regina University, they were present in the city almost a century earlier. The first nuns to serve in Newport arrived in 1854 to run St. Mary's Grammar School. In subsequent years, they established a high school at St. Mary's, a grammar school at St. Augustin's in the Fifth Ward, and an orphanage, the Mercy Home, in the north end. By the time Salve Regina opened in 1947, the people of Newport were already familiar with the works of the Sisters of Mercy.
