Brockagh (or Brocagh,[1] from Irish Brocach 'badger warren') is a village in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It is on the western shore of Lough Neagh, about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) east of Coalisland and north of Washing Bay. It lies within the Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council area.[2]

In 1915 she was sent to the United States, and in the late 1920s founded the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm.
