Brockagh (from the Irish: Brocach meaning "place of the badgers") is a hamlet in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland on the western shore of Lough Neagh, east of Coalisland and north of Washing Bay. It lies within the Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council area.
Mother M. Angeline Teresa (Bridget Teresa McCrory), Foundress of the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm, was born on January 21, 1893 in Brockagh. When she was seven years of age her family migrated to Scotland and at the age of nineteen she left home to become a Little Sister of the Poor. In 1915 she was sent to the United States and in the late 1920s founded the new order. She opened 59 homes for the aged and died on January 21, 1984.
