Today is International Women’s Day
The Loretto Sisters | IBVM are women called by God to a life of prayer and service, committed to enriching the lives of God’s people, especially women, and to the promotion of justice, peace and integrity of creation. We have faith in our founder Mary Ward’s declaration “that women in time to come will do much”.
We support Choose to Challenge
And so, on this day we choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. We raise our hands high to show we support Choose to Challenge – where we choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality. Collectively, we can all help create an inclusive world. For more info
