Mercy Day September 24th, 2018


Today we honour Mercy Day and this year we are delighted to be joining with our neighbours, St Joseph's SS to celebrate with a Mass in the Church of the Holy Rosary at 12 pm.

Mercy Day remembers the opening of the first 'House of Mercy' on this date in 1827 on Baggot Street in Dublin.
