They traveled from Carlow, Ireland to the Oakland area of Pittsburgh, where they purchased within the Diocese of Pittsburgh. This land became the location of a new motherhouse and Our Lady of Mercy Academy. Some reports state that the site of the current campus was the location of a Civil War fortification named Fort Zug.〔http://www.bivouacbooks.com/bbv4i4s4.htm〕 In 1929, the Sisters of Mercy opened Mount Mercy College.
