Hornell was still Hornellsville when a \Se- lect School\ was established in a small frame building on Erie Avenue. Nine years later in 1871, six Sisters of Mercy from the Batavia motherhouse arrived in Hornellsville to staff what was then known as the \Academy of Mer- cy!' Sister Mary Dolores Clancy was appoint- ed principal. Registration at the school quickly exceeded expectations, according to a historical record of the period: \The Academy proved a boon to Hornellsville, as many young women were desirous ... to receive, in addition to careful training of manners and character, the best in- tellectual and physical development!' Prior to the arrival of Monsignor James M. Early as pastor in 1879, teachers at the acade- my received no stipulated salary. Monsignor Early established a $200 annual salary for each teacher, while at the same time erecting a.new two-story brick school/completed in 1890. Seven years later, Hornellsville was tran- ferred from the Diocese of Buffalo to the Di- ocese of Rochester. A succession of pastors and principals gradually expanded the school, both in facili- ties and in registration. Although learning centers have today replaced the fastened-down desks and inkwells of memory, St. Ann's cur- rent principal, Sister Dolores Ann Stein, be- lieves that the school adheres to the same philosophy with which it began — to impart sound moral values and academic excellence. • • • H. Lyman Stebbins, who helped to found Elmira's Mt. Saviour Monastery, has re- ceived the papal award of the Order of St. Gregory. The Holy Fa- ther confered the award on Stebbins, founding president of the international lay association Catholics United for the Faith, at the request of Cardinal John J. O'Connor of New York. The Order of St. Gregory was established by Pope Gregory XVI in 1831. Originally in- tended to honor citizens of the papal states, the order is conferred on people who are dis- . tingj'uished for personal character and reputa- tion, and for notable accomplishment. Stebbins, a resident of New Rochelle, found- ed CUF in 1968. Although he continues on the CUF board, he resigned as active president in 1981. ors The principal of Elmira's Holy Family Jun- ior High School, Sister Patricia Carroll, SSJ, has been inducted into the Alpha Rho Chap- ter of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society. The society is an international group which seeks to promote professional qualifications among female educators through chapters lo- cated across New York State. Sister Carroll will become the only member of the society's lo- cal chapter to represent a Catholic school. • • • St. Mary's Health Care Services has an- nounced the appointment of two new adminis- trators. Susan Liberman is St. Mary's new director of public affairs. She will be respon- sible for public relations, communications, volunteers, telecommunications and patient representation. Liberman formerly served as director of marketing and public relations for H.I.P./HMO Hospitals in New York City. Sandy Armbruster is the new executive direc- tor of the St. Mary's Health Care Foundation. Armbruster will be. responsible coordinating all of St. Mary's fund raising efforts as well as overseeing all grant appropriations, in ad- dition, she will be responsible for the develop- ment of financial reserves for the future needs of St. Mary's. For the past six years, Armr bruster has been teaching fund raising and de- velopment for non-profit organizations in local colleges, and more recently, was the executive director of the Park Ridge Health Care Foun- dation. .. . • • • Sister Jean Marie Kearse, major superior of the Sisters of Mercy of the Rochester diocese, is among 12 religious who will participate in the National Ecumenical Consultation of Men and Women Religious, to be held,February 3-6 at St. Paul's Priory (Benedictine), St. Paul, Minn. Sister Kearse is one. of two representatives from the Leadership Conference of Women Religious. Roman Catholic, Episcopal and Or- thodox orders will be represented at the three- day gathering. In addition, members of the Taize Community, an ecumenical movement dedicated to Christian unity and understand- ing, will attend.
