Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Waldron Mercy Academy is a K-8 Catholic school, located in Merion Station, Pennsylvania, USA. The school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.Catherine McAuley, Irish founders of the Sisters of Mercy, and Patricia Waldron were the driving forces behind establishing learning institutions in the United States.In 1861, Sister Mary Patricia Waldron, who was 26 at the time, and ten Sisters of Mercy landed in Philadelphia in order to serve the uneducated, poor, and the ailing in the city. Because many of the Sisters became ill themselves while aiding the sick in the city, Waldron bought an eight-acre retreat in Merion for their recovery. In 1885, the adjoining Morgan Estate was purchased. The 13-room stone house became St. Anne Convent, and the farmhouse held the Village School for the local farm children.The Sisters of Mercy began Mater Misericordiae, an academy for young ladies and boys under 12 years of age, in 1885. In 1923, the male boarding students moved to a new school on the property Waldron Academy for Boys.
