Elizabeth McQuoin-Singing to the End of the Service

This is the story of an English woman born in London whose spiritual journey took her to Liverpool to the Sisters of Mercy where she joined the foundation planned by Catherine McAuley, founder of the Sisters of Mercy, Dublin, Ireland'

Elizabeth dedicated herself to the works of Mercy.  Her willingness to serve wholeheartedly in the spirit of Catherine McAuley led her to take the courageous step of leading a small group from Liverpool to make a Mercy foundation in Sydney, Australia in 1865.  She thus joined the ranks of the pioneer women of Australia whose contribution to the history of this country is inestimable and whose ability to help make the difference required to turn Australia from a dumping ground to a country with a remarkable future cannot be measured. 

Elizabeth McQuoin wrote her own account of the vicissitudes of such an undertaking; she supported the Sisters who joined her with great love and solicitude; she bequeathed a rich legacy in the name of a loving and compassionate God to future generations of Australians.
