The Sisters of Mercy, Gunnedah Congregation was a Catholic religious order of women who arrived in Gunnedah in 1887 from Singleton. The sisters were responsible for the administration of St Patrick’s Orphanage (later called St Patrick’s Home and St Patrick’s Homes) Armidale. In 2011, the Sisters of Mercy, Gunnedah Congregation was dissolved and merged with 15 former Australian congregations to become the Institute of Sisters of Mercy Australia and Papua New Guinea.
