IBVM Loreto Sisters are women drawn to companionship in the service in
the Gospel. Inspired by Mary Ward and the Ignatian spiritual tradition,
we strive to support growth into freedom through spiritual ministries,
education, and any other works which meet the needs of our times.

Our history:
The Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, often called "the Loreto
Sisters," was founded by the Englishwoman Mary Ward in 1609. Her dream
was to begin a new kind of community of women religious - an
independent, self-governing congregation patterned after the model of
the Society of Jesus, free of the confines of the cloisters, and
responding to the urgent needs of her time.
