The Order of St. Augustine of the Mercy of Jesus was founded in 1842 in Bruges, Belgium by Reverend Canon Peter John Maes, who devoted his life to the care of the mentally ill. The Sisters of St. Augustine was re-formed in 1866 when we established our first home, St. George’s Retreat in Burgess Hill, Sussex, principally to care for the mentally and physically ill. We have continued to care for those that need it ever since. Today our Sisters work in our own houses in the Diocese of Plymouth, Northampton. We also have Sisters in Birmingham and Westminster still carrying on the vision of Canon Peter Maes. St. George’s is the Motherhouse, where we have established the new care village and three care homes. We maintain a strong prayer life with daily Mass, Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, private prayer and meditation ,and Holy Hour with exposition twice a week. We are affiliated with the Order of St. Augustine (O.S.A.) and follow the Rule of St. Augustine. Member of Compass. Please contact us to learn more.
