- Catherine Mcauley was noted for her sanctity,for the extent and graciousness of her charity and her courage. She was sensitive to the inadequacies of her society. She showed an urgency to any one in need. One time it was a poor boy who used to eat just crusts of stale bread and another was an abandoned child whose parents had died, a newborn infant whose mother had died during the cholera pandemic in 1832, the young girl dying of cancer with no one to take care of her and Ms. Harper, the old protestant lady. Catherine attended to miss harper for 3 years with only hatred and abuse in return. Catherine said “Mercy receives the ungrateful again and again and is never weary of pardoning them.” Before she became an heiress she was still doing what she could to help the poor. Another quote she said was “God knows I would rather be cold or hungry than that the poor in kingstown or elsewhere should be deprived of any consolation in our power to afford them”.
- Her harvest of hidden years in Coolock was a far more important asset than the fortune of the Callaghans when it comes to the inaugurating qualities for her works of mercy in Dublin. She and Daniel O Connor were born to right the wrongs of Irelands. Catherine became an educator and Social worker. The following words were taken from catherine’s visitation of the sick, “The principal pass marked out by Jesus Christ which has in all ages of the church excited the faithful excited the poor in a particular manner to instruct and comfort the sick and dying poor, as in them they regarded the person of our Divine master.” After william Callaghan's death adopted two of her cousin Anne Conway-Byrn’s four orphaned children. She began teaching St.Mary’s parochial school in Middle Abbey street. She taught needlework, knitting and homecrafts to the pupils. She sold them and provided for the various needs of the pupils. She was applauded in 1873 by the American philosopher-economist Augustus Orestes Brown-son. The lack of resources never made her deter because she always confided in God. She said that prayer will do more than all the money in the bank. There was no education in Ireland especially after 1709 When an act of parliament prevented catholics schools from teaching privately or publicly. Protestant evangelical societies had formed a federation by 1820 under the protection of the Kildare place. Due to this, voluntary schools began to make their appearance towards the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth century.
- The schools in Dublin were in bad condition and there was a scarcity of chapels which meant that the confraternity could not help those who are in need. In 1709 restriction was removed, religious instruction was made for Catholics and the poor which was not good for them. When abbey middle street became Catherine's area of commanding the only impact she can do is provision which was her priority. Catherine was a founder of Mary Aikeenhead and her charity which she did not think of becoming religious until 1815 and joined a religious consecration. During the years of 1823 to 1827 with the help of Rev. joseph Nugent, Rev. Edward Armstrong and Dr Michael Blake, she brought a new wave of merciness, because her holiness like no other women allowed her to build on a plot of land given by Dr blake, and so in 1824 Dr blake laid the building foundation which would allowed Catherine to become a sister of mercy. In May 1825 father Joseph Nugent died and later on in 1827 Catherine sister Mary McAuly right before Catherine made her join the life of catholicism. This conversion also happened to The daughter of Mary Teresa and Catherine nephew Wild Willie.Father Edward Armstrong died on Thursday 1828 but Catherine did learn that she must put all her trust in God rather than other people. Catherine's work in Baggot street was judged by society neither the less people were becoming members, young women and men in 1829.
