The Good Shepherd Centre, Upper Ormeau Road
This sprawling brick built campus of Victorian buildings was erected as a convent for the Sisters of the Good Shepherd an order which in Belfast, as in the rest of Ireland, ran the infamous Magdalen Laundries. Here "fallen women" were used as cheap labour in laundering the dirty washing of Belfast's upper and middle classes. Belfast also had equally notorious Church of Ireland and Presbyterian Magdalen laundries which "cared" for Protestant unmarried mothers. The Magdalen Laundry at Belfast's Good Shepherd Convent remained in existence until 1977.

The Lys Marie Convent on Ormeau Road
This derelict nunnery belongs to the Contemplative Sisters of the Good Shepherd, “Lys Marie”. For some 100 years up to 1977 the Good Shepherd Convent operated a Magdalene Laundry on the site. Image The eleven sisters of the nunnery now live in a smaller modern convent in the rear and are engaged in making altar cloths and small linens.

The Good Shepherd Chapel, Upper Ormeau Road
This was formerly the chapel of the Convent of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd. Until 1977 this South Belfast convent operated one of Ireland's infamous Magdalene Laundries.
With the closure of the laundry in 1977 and of a mother and child home in the 1990s, and faced with the deteriorating fabric of the Holy Rosary Parish Church opposite, the Diocese of Down and Connor decided to make the convent chapel the place of worship for the Parish of the Holy Rosary.
