Heritage
Walk
in the footsteps of
Mother Catherine McAuley - through the cloisters, in the chapel
and
even the very room in which she slept during her stay here at
Handsworth, the last Convent she founded before her death.
The
treasures
and
evidence of ‘Mercy’ in England is everywhere, from its roots in Baggot
St to the newest foundations and the develpment of our Mercy
Associate Movement.
The
building itself and much of its
contents, designed by Pugin, is an architectural gem.
Strong
historical connections
with local figures
such as the Hardman Family, Bishop
Walsh and the Earl of
Shrewsbury and
their social involvement in the area make for a very interesting story.
