Summary
St Michael's Children's Home, run by the Sisters of Mercy, was formerly known as St Michael's Boys' Home. The Home cared for boys and girls aged five to fifteen years. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the home evolved into three cottages each with house parents. These cottages provided accommodation for homeless women and children from the 1990s.
In 2012 the centre was known as St Michael's Family Centre, and the Sisters of Mercy announced plans for its closure.
