Sadly, for some people being homeless is a way of life.
In 1992, in collaboration with the Sisters of Mercy, the Presentation Brothers opened the House of Mercy in Kent, England.
The mission of the House of Mercy is “to provide comfort and hospitality for single people who find themselves without a home.”
The Day Centre facilities at the House of Mercy are available to all people, over 16 years of age, who are homeless, in danger of becoming homeless or living in inadequate accommodation.
The facilities offered include:
- Hot Lunch
