Ireland: Waning faith

Peter Mulryan, a former resident of the St. Mary’s Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, working at his family home in Ballinasloe, Ireland. Mulryan, who grew up in a abusive foster family, is seeking information about the fate of the infant sister he has never known after she went into the St. Mary’s Mother and Baby Home in Tuam. He says Catherine Corless, whose research uncovered a pit at the home where it is suspected many children were buried, contacted him in 2014 to say she believed she had identified his sister among the 796 children interred at the site.
