In 1831 Catherine McAuley became the first Sister of Mercy, at Baggot Street in Dublin. Our Lady's Convent in Abingdon was subsequently founded in 1860 by Mother M. Clare Moore, a companion of Mother McAuley, along with Mother Elizabeth Rigby who had been a member of the community for some six years.
The Sisters of Mercy were able to embark on their work in education thanks to a generous gift of land made by Sir George Bowyer-Bart who had also built the nearby church of St. Edmund in 1857.
