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.
