Sisters of Mercy open museum

Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness officially opened the Alpha Mercy Historical Centre on August 18 to honor nearly 150 years of service and social development by the Sisters of Mercy of Jamaica.

Located at the Alpha Campus in Kingston, the museum was established with a 100 million Jamaican dollar investment from the Tourism Enhancement Fund. The center serves as an educational and cultural space intended to preserve national history and increase cultural tourism.

During the ceremony, Dr. Holness stated that preserving historical institutions, documents, and traditions is an investment in national identity and education for young people. Dr. Carey Wallace, executive director of the Tourism Enhancement Fund, also expressed gratitude to the Sisters of Mercy for creating the center.
