Regina Coeli, McAuley Community Services for Women 1. Service Name McAuley Community Services for Woman- Regina Coeli Program 2. Brief History of Service Who Are We? History In the 1930‟s The Legion of Mary, a group associated with the Catholic Church, recognized a need to provide accommodation for women who were homeless. At that time women completing prison terms had few places to go. Regina Coeli was set up to allow women to join the Community of an afternoon and leave the following morning. Many would often return the following afternoon. In 1986, the volunteers providing care to women at Regina Coeli found they were unable to continue. A request was made to religious groups to provide the service. The Sisters of Mercy took up the challenge. They began managing the facility in 1986 and went on to purchase the property during the 1990‟s. Their aim was to live in community with women who experienced homelessness, a ministry strongly connected to the founding aim of the congregation. The Regina Coeli program is now part of McAuley Community Services for Women. The program has retained its role of offering accommodation and support to women and offers a unique residential setting and inclusive community. It aims to foster a spirit of harmony, acceptance and security and to empower women to reach their potential. Regina Coeli strives to extend each woman‟s independent living skills so they can secure and maintain permanent housing. Women who have established independent, permanent housing are invited to remain connected to the community and often return to the house for meals, activities and company. Currently the service provides accommodation for up to twenty four women and support for an additional twenty women in the outreach program. 3.
