Mercy Health and Aged Care Celebrate Mercy Day

Mercy Health and Aged Care will celebrate Mercy Day in our Facilities during the week starting 22 September. The original House of Mercy in Baggott Street Dublin was opened on the 24th September 1827 and the work was put under the patronage of our Lady of Mercy.
