The sisters of Mary Reparatrix arrived in Clones in 1947, extended the original house formerly known as Sunnymeade on the Roslea Road, and worked there for twenty years. In July 1967 Sister Elizabeth, a Sacred Hearts sister came to take over the Mary Reparatrix convent to set it up as a novitiate for their novices.

With these junior sisters they continued to make altar breads for the churches of the diocese and to organise retreats for priests and lay people. In 1970 Sister Patrick (later called Sister Anna) came and began to take in one or two elderly people for respite care into the convent.

From this time on, and with modifications, the Home for the Elderly developed. By 1973 Sister Elizabeth had moved on, while novices and junior sisters worked in the home. Sisters Anna and Gemma taught in St. Tiarnach’s Secondary School for some years.

Government requirements governing centres caring for the elderly necessitated further major building work and extensions. A local lay committee, ‘Friends of the Elderly,’ was formed to assist in the funding for this work under Sister Anna and later Sister Colman. In 1990 Sister Aileen Kennedy, from Clones, became matron at the home for its final 10 years under the charge of the Sacred Hearts Sisters. At the end of 2000 the home was sold into private ownership due to lack of vocations in the order. It continues to operate under the new management team.

Four sisters are buried in Mount St. Oliver Cemetery :
Sister Siobhán, Sister Catherine Mary, Sister Colman and
Sister Joseph, and elderly French sister, who died while a patient in the home.
