Mary Ward statute 

Today marks the beginning of Mary Ward Week, commencing with the anniversary of her birth in Yorkshire on this day in 1585.

Mary Ward Week is a time to reflect upon the extraordinary life of our foundress, and to celebrate her enduring legacy around the world. As we begin the Loreto Year of Justice, let us be inspired again by the life and faith of this extraordinary woman and her call to be ‘seekers of truth and doers of justice’.
