Through the inspiration and efforts of Archbishop Patrick Skinner, St. Patrick’s Mercy Home, a long-term care facility located in St. John’s, opened in 1958 under the administration of the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy. Its mission is to provide quality and compassionate care for its residents.

With its mission to provide quality and compassionate care for its residents, it offers a homelike atmosphere with large rooms that are available to residents and family members for special gatherings.
A patio garden, called the Mercedes Marshall Garden, is easily accessible for residents with its flowers and outdoor musical instruments. The auditorium provides space for concerts, parties and special group gatherings.
The Pastoral Care Department is welcoming to people of all faiths with many religious services being held in the large chapel. Our Sisters are very active in this department visiting and praying with residents and providing music for liturgies.

St. Patrick’s Mercy Home Foundation
The Foundation has been proudly serving the Home for over 25 years. Established in 1998 to provide a comfortable and home-like atmosphere for the residents, it is an intergral and important asset to the Home.
Their fundraising efforts have enabled them to achieve significant goals which directly contribute to the St. Patrick’s Mercy Home’s ability to provide better care for its residents. They have contributed over $1,500,000 thanks to community support.
With a focus on the high quality of life it provides to those in their care, the SPMHF Board continues to contribute financial aid and enhance St. Patrick’s capability to meet the important needs of residents. In recent years, the Foundation has gained many medical enhancements for the Home and thus priority has currently shifted to improving the furniture and room amenities affecting residents’ daily living and comfort.
Make a Difference
St. Patrick’s Mercy Home Foundation’s current active campaigns are for the enhancement of care and living conditions of the residents.
