LORETTO SISTERS

       

Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Loretto Crest

The Loretto Sisters (Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, IBVM) 
are an active community of Catholic women seeking to spread the Gospel as ‘Contemplatives in Action’.

​

Mary Ward (1585 - 1645) founder, an English woman who held a strong conviction “that women in time to come will do much,” continues to inspire and challenge women today.

​

We are proud to be celebrating our 175th year in Canada in 2022.
