1. Preface Sisters of Eercy in our different dioceses have often expressed regret that, so far, no one has written a historical sketch of the Order of roy in New Zealand. Time is steadily stealing from our midst those who were privileged to enjoy personal acquaintance with the first religious wonen - the Auckland Sisters of Uercy of 1850 - to cone to this country. So, v1'11ile there yet remain ·with us, five of the original band who in 1873 founded the~- first Convent of I~rcy in the South Island, I have attenpted to break the ice, however feebly, and thus free the current for more competent explorers. Owing to the lack of a central authority for the Order, the collecting of sources and other data has entailed :'luch :1ore research than one rr1igllt infer fror:t the size of the WOl"k. A considerable a.rnount of detail was necessa:r'y but I have endeavoured to so use it as not to lose si~ht of the vivifyin~ spi t o~ nercy, which enbraces even the least works of the Order. pro;2pt an d. sene:;;ous response to :1any appeals and loans of useful naterials I owe abundant thad:s to ~Irs.S.R.Goulter, Fairlie; I
