  • Happy Mercy Day!

    Today we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Mercy, and the day when Catherine McAuley, the Foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, opened the House of Mercy in Baggot Street Dublin in 1827.

    Catherine’s goal was to create a practical, sustainable way to help the poor at a time when women and children particularly were suffering in impoverished Ireland. The House of Mercy soon became home to a school, hostel, orphanage, sheltered workshop, employment agency, adult education centre and a base for various social services. On 12 December 1831, the House was designated as the first Convent of Mercy with Catherine McAuley as Mother Superior.

    Catherine's legacy continues through the many works and ministries of the Sisters of Mercy. One such ministry is Mercy Health. This year we will celebrate Mercy Day across Mercy Health facilities with events ranging from service recognition awards ceremonies to BBQs with staff and residents.

    Stay tuned for details of Mercy Day events happening across the organisation. Join in the activities as we all give thanks, reflect and celebrate Mercy Day!
