| Summary: | View of St. Marie's of the Isle, Sharman Crawford Street, Cork City (for a similar illustration see also 'The Building News', issue of December 7, 1850) designed by architect William Atkins in the Gothic style. Dr. William Delany, Bishop of Cork, approved of the transfer of the Sisters of Mercy from Rutland Street to St. Marie's of the Isle in October 1852; the orphange in Rutland Street functioned until 1853 when under a decision of Dr. Delany, the Diocesan Orpahange for Girls was transferred from Charlotte Quay to St. Marie's of the Isle and the children from both orphangages were amalgamated. Text printed on sheet reads: This building now in course of erection, will comprise a house of mercy, affording a home to a number of young women of good character, temporarily out of employment. Female Poor Schools for 800 children, A Female Orphan Asylum, of which the inmates are carefully educated and trained to useful employments, and ultimately provided with good situations, and A Residence For Forty Sisters of Mercy, who devote their lives to these important objects, as well as to visiting, assisting, and consoling the sick and dying poor. Contributions towards this work will be thankfully received by the Right Reverend Doctor Delany, R.C. Bishop of Cork, and of the Clergy of the city, or the Sisters of Mercy, Rutland Street, Cork. |
