Helen Naughton Posted on 04 Jul 2013 at 02:33 PM GMT+10:00 Today as I was shopping at 'The Pines' in Doncaster, I encountered the 'Sisters' What wonderful women. having a grand time with lunch and coffee BUT also so humble and loving. Many thanks Helen.

Jenny Posted on 16 Jan 2013 at 06:41 PM GMT+11:00 Oliver, You can contact the Little Sisters of the Poor in Northcote and they will be able to help. They have kept records going back to the first resident.

Discovery Centre Posted on 25 Mar 2012 at 01:29 PM GMT+11:00 Hi Donna, The convent of The Little Sisters of the Poor, according to the history provided on their website, have always made it their mission to care for the elderly and infirm. http://www.littlesistersofthepoor.org.au/#!our-life/vstc16=melbourne/vstc10=our-history There are a number of reasons why children were housed in state and Catholic care. For general information on the history of children in state or Catholic care in Australia in the first half of the 20th century—many of them now referred to under the title of “Forgotten Australians”—see: http://www.forgottenaustralians.org.au/ or http://nma.gov.au/blogs/inside/. “Find and Connect Victoria” is an online initiative of the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs to assist people in locating former children’s homes. The website contains a wealth of information on Catholic organisations and care providers active in Victoria from the 20th century: http://www.findandconnect.gov.au/vic/browse_c_function.htm#F000001. You may be able to find the organisation in which you were housed in the 1960s on here.

donna Posted on 24 Mar 2012 at 12:45 PM GMT+11:00 were unwed mothers in the 1960s sent to this facility before birth of the babies they were to relinqish. or what was the main reason children would have been sent here for during that time?

Discovery Centre Posted on 12 Apr 2011 at 04:59 PM GMT+10:00 Hi Oliver, you should contact the <a href="http://www.littlesistersofthepoor.org.au/">Little Sisters of the Poor</a> or the <a href="http://www.cam.org.au/melbourne-diocesan-historical-commission/researching-catholic-history-information-sheet.html>Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne</a> to see if they have archival information that can help. The <a href="http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/">Public Record Office of Victoria</a> or the <a href="http://home.vicnet.net.au/~nhcs/">Northcote History Group</a> may also be able to help

Oliver Hargadon Posted on 12 Apr 2011 at 07:54 AM GMT+10:00 Enquiring about my great grand uncle Peter Hargadon who died in Little Sisters of the Poor in 1906. He was born in Ireland. Would be delighted if you can help. Oliver.
