Women and children in mother and baby homes 'abandoned by church'
The priests offering Mass at Kilrush, Co Clare, and at the Navan Road parish in Dublin, near the Pelletstown home, did not mention or respond to the report in their Sunday Mass. Parish Priest Fr Gerry Clarke SJ, at the Gardiner Street parish near the St Gerardâs home, said the report âbrought a realisation of the darkness that existed in Ireland from the time of our independence up until the 1990sâ. âI just wonder myself how a Catholic country seemed to go so far away from whatâs really at the heart of the gospel,â he said.
