About this Book

The Mustard Seed is a comprehensive history of the contribution the Sisters of Mercy made to health care in Newfoundland and Labrador. With extensive research and a large collection of photographs, Sister Kathrine Bellamy tells the fascinating history of one of St. John’s landmarks and the people who built it from the ground up. Through their work with dedicated professionals in the field of health care, the Sisters of Mercy of Newfoundland brought the “mustard seed” that was planted in 1922 to full growth as one of the major health care institutions in the province today—St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital.
