Mercy International Centre on Baggot Street in Dublin was the first House of Mercy built by Catherine McAuley in response to the needs of the poor. It was opened on 24 September 1827, a date now celebrated throughout the Mercy world  as Mercy Day.

Today the house on Baggot Street is home to Mercy International Association and the Mercy family from all over the world –  a centre of hospitality, heritage, pilgrimage and renewal.
