The Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a worldwide religious community of Catholic women dedicated to serving God by responding to the needs of God’s people. In the United States, the Institute is now present in Arizona, California, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Although education was its primary work, sisters now serve in a wide variety of educational, pastoral, and social ministries. We continue to follow the path envisioned by Mary Ward working for freedom, justice, and integrity in our times with particular interest in the needs of women and children and those who are marginalized.

Cartridge World provides consumers and businesses with an alternative to reduce the impact of millions of printer cartridges that are thrown away and that end up in landfills each year.  Cartridge World in Town & Country Village is a longtime partner of Loretto High School and that relationship continues.  The proceeds from all recycled inkjet and toner cartridges that I turn in to them go directly to Wellspring Women's Center.  If you would like to participate in this program you may drop off your cartriges at the new Loretto Connect office and I will take them over and drop them off.
