‘Mary Ward – Dangerous Visionary’ tells the story of Yorkshire woman Mary Ward (1585-1645) whom the Vatican declared Venerable just before Christmas. Known as a ‘seeker of truth and worker of justice’, Mary Ward was a religious and educational pioneer. However, in her own lifetime, she was imprisoned by the Church and all her convents and schools were suppressed in 1631. Her Institute, which nonetheless, survived, was only permitted to acknowledge her as foundress in 1909.
