Happy New Year

From the Archives...

On July 16, 1946, the Loretto Sisters took possession of their new property and changed the name from "The Pines" to "Maryholme".

Loretto Maryholme continues to be a welcoming space that is  "something more than ordinary" to this day...


Celebrating Mary Ward

Mary Ward founded the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM) and Congregation Jesu (CJ) as a community of women free from the confines of cloister  to meet the needs 
of their time.

Today IBVM and CJ Sisters minister around the globe. 
They commit themselves to promoting dignity and liberation for all, especially women and children; challenging unjust systems and structures; standing with those on the fringes 
of society; and showing reverent care for the earth 
and all of creation.




"Remember that God is the end of all your actions
and therein you will find great satisfaction
and think all things easy and possible."

Mary Ward
