When the Sisters of Mercy arrived in Raton, New Mexico, in 1922, they came from
difficult circumstances in Stanton, Texas. The Stanton community had
struggled with internal strife and outside interference. Mother Angela
Hostetter led five sisters to the small railroad town of Raton to open a
parochial school. An admirable administrator and fund~raiser, Mother
Angela was determined to keep her community together and minister to the poor of
rural New Mexico. They labored under many hardships to teach in schools in
Raton and Springer.
