Picture
The Religious Sisters of Charity, a religious congregation dedicated to working with the poor, vulnerable and marginalised, was founded by Mary Aikenhead in Ireland in 1815. 

Mary Aikenhead was born in Cork in 1787.  Her father, Dr David Aikenhead, was an apothecary and a member of the Church of Ireland.  Her mother, Mary Stackpole, was from a Roman Catholic aristocratic family.  Mary was fostered out to John and Mary Rourke, a poor Roman Catholic couple, until the age of six, when the Rourkes came to live with her family as servants.

Our schools are centres of learning which are open to all and which strive for excellence in the areas of religious, moral, social, cultural and intellectual development.  A number of our schools cater for pupils whose parents or relatives are seeking refugee status and help them to integrate into the Irish education system.
