Venerable Mary Ward, an English Catholic religious woman, founded the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), also known as the Loreto Sisters. Her conviction that "Women in time to come will do much" guided the congregation's mission to educate and empower women. The Loreto Sisters arrived in India in 1841, establishing Loreto Convent Intermediate College in Lucknow in 1872.
