Meet four women of mercy whose fascinating lives impacted greatly on
the Sisters of Mercy stories and ministry in Queensland. Their stories
are told beautifully through oil portraits by artist Megan Seres.
Megan Seres has interpreted numerous descriptions and images to
reimage Catherine, Ellen, Florence and Jane as young women, revealing
the optimism and determination that characterised all four and led to
the formation of the foundations of education, healthcare and welfare
services throughout Queensland. Take time to absorb the stories of:
Sisters of Mercy foundress, Catherine McAuley; the first Queensland
Mother Superior, Mary Vincent (Ellen) Whitty; benefactress, Florence
O’Reilly and the first Queensland-born sister, Jane Gorry.
