We are deeply indebted to Mary Ward whose vision of education for girls was far in advance of her times. Recognizing the significance of education for women and the important role they would play in society in the future. Mary Ward chose her special area of service, the education of girls. We carry on that tradition to the present day and are continually nourished by her spiritual insights.
