Mercy Legacy Society

Moved by the needs of people suffering from poverty, hunger and lack of shelter, Sisters of Mercy Foundation Catherine McAuley used her inheritance to build a house for religious, educational and social services for women and children of Dublin, Ireland. She founded the Sisters of Mercy in 1831, and inspired many to join her ministry to help the sick, the poor and the uneducated. Today, the Sisters of Mercy continue Catherine's legacy around the world, focusing on health care, education, housing and care for the poor and elderly.

Members are invited to exclusive events, seminars, tours and more.
