The Sisters of St John of God were founded in Wexford in 1871.

Initially their mission was to provide healthcare to the Irish poor and needy, but this quickly expanded into the provision of education and other social services.

The Congregation has been an integral part of the life of Wexford and other Irish towns for last 150 years.

Members of the Congregation have worked in Ireland, Australia, England, various African countries and Pakistan.

In 2007, a Heritage Centre was established in the very first home of the Congregation. This includes a museum.

Tours of the museum will be offered on two afternoons during Heritage Week.

Pre-booking is necessary.
Numbers are limited.
