Mary Ward International (MWI) works in every IBVM province and region to support the life and mission of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary throughout the world by:

• Promoting awareness of and interest in IBVM life and mission
• Forging and maintaining ties with former students and friends
• Forming links with partners such as international agencies, IBVM institutions and communities
• Seeking monetary support for IBVM projects throughout the world

We invite family, friends, and colleagues to join us in promoting the dignity and liberation of all, particularly of woman and children.

Mary Ward International in Ireland

The Irish Committee is currently made up of a group of Loreto sisters from the Irish Province. They work to fulfil the general MWI objectives in specific ways here in Ireland by:

• Raising mission awareness within our Loreto schools, among colleagues, pupils, past pupils, parents associations, families and friends.

• Ensuring that up to date information regarding conditions and needs in third world countries is readily available.

• Stimulating fund raising in Ireland and disseminating details of various initiatives and work in progress, while seeking creative ideas and ventures in this area.

• Involving our local communities and encouraging them to participate in the work in hand by whatever means available to them.
