BARLING McAuley Convent, which has been a retirement residence for the Sisters of Mercy since 1995, will close in late March.
The decision to close was made last year by the leaders of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas, South Central, but was put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The sisters living at McAuley Convent now have been vaccinated and will move to their new homes the week of March 22.
