Welcome to Catherine's House, the first house of Mercy built by Catherine McAuley in response to the needs of the poor of Dublin. It is home to the Mercy family from all over the world.

Catherine's House is a Centre of Hospitality, Heritage, Pilgrimage and Renewal. It is a Wellspring of inspiration for those who come to continue Catherine's mission with new life.

‘May the blessing of this house - A house imagined in unlikeliness, dreamt with daring, built with love, Founded on Mercy - Speak to your spirit in whatever room in the world you are reading, in whatever place you are called to Mercy.’ (Mary Wickham rsm)
