Our Foundations
In 1986, the Sisters of Mercy established Regina Coeli (now McAuley Houses) and later, in 1988, Mercy Care, (now McAuley Care) was founded. Twenty years later, in 2008, the two were combined to become McAuley, expanding the Sisters of Mercy’s commitment to women, children and social justice.
