Who we are
Mary Ward once said, “women in time to come will do much”.
As the founder and inspiration for the over 160 schools worldwide run by the Loretto Sisters, Mary Ward’s vision for women is the foundation of our community here at Loretto Abbey.
Mary Ward challenged the status quo – stating that given equal opportunities for education, there would be no difference in what women and men could achieve.
The history of Loretto Abbey lies deep in the history of Toronto, and is a strong testimony of Mary Ward’s conviction. Her legacy is as meaningful today as it was back in the 17th century, and can be seen so vibrantly in the halls of our school, in our classrooms, and through the interactions between our students and the community.
Mary Ward’s passion for women’s education lives on daily in the spirit of Loretto Abbey, as our students continue to nurture, inspire, and encourage others to wholeheartedly embrace life with laughter, courage and a love for one another.
And you belong here.
