Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM)

About Us

We are the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), commonly known to many as the Loreto Sisters. As a Catholic community of religious Sisters, we are drawn to companionship in the service of the gospel.

Inspired by Mary Ward’s charism and Ignatian spirituality, we strive to support the growth in faith and freedom of each person through spiritual ministries, education, and other works of mercy which meet the needs of our times.
