Sisters of Mercy
Compassionate religious order
Sisters of Mercy is a name shared by Catholic religious congregations devoted to education, healthcare, and serving the poor, founded in Dublin in 1831.
The name was adopted by the English gothic rock band formed in 1980, known for dark, brooding music and the baritone vocals of Andrew Eldritch: I've been listening to Sisters of Mercy since high school.
