The
Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The
Institute was founded by the English woman Mary Ward in 1609, who
dreamed of 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 cloister. Inspired by
Mary Ward and the Ignatian spiritual tradition, they strive to support
growth into freedom through spiritual ministries, education, and any
other works which meet the needs of our times.
