A Nun's Tale: 
​Sister Angela Mary Doyle

Having grown up on a farm in Ireland during World War II, she travelled to Australia in 1947, responding to a call for more Sisters of Mercy. Despite being trained as a teacher, she was dispatched to the Mater Hospital and retrained as a nurse. However, it was the area of hospital administration, in which she would make her mark. She was eventually appointed Chief Executive of the Mater Hospitals – a position she held for 22 years. In the early ‘80s, during her tenure, complete opposition to helping those with HIV and AIDs was the norm. When the Premier of the day declared that any such illness was a punishment from God and that no help should be given, Sister Angela Mary knew that the Sisters of Mercy, an order founded for the poor, the sick and anyone disadvantaged must act.
