The Mary Ward Centre for social justice and the integrity of creation, through social analysis, theological/spiritual reflection, and education, is a ministry of the Loretto Sisters (Congregation of Jesus Canada). Our mission is to empower agents of change who are dedicated to building a more equitable, sustainable, and compassionate world. Through a process of mutual accompaniment, we walk alongside those on the margins, creating transformative spaces where we learn, grow, and inspire one another. Rooted in the wisdom of Catholic Social Teaching and inspired by the Ignatian tradition and Mary Ward’s principles of freedom, justice, and sincerity, we focus on fostering authentic connections and empowerment. We offer experiences, workshops, celebrations, and events designed to nourish individuals and communities, encouraging them to take meaningful action in addressing the pressing issues of our time. By confronting global injustices and creating spaces for reflection and action, we aim to inspire a movement toward right relationships and collective healing. We collaborate with faith-based organizations, educational institutions, justice groups, and civil society to advocate for and improve the lives of all of God’s creation. Join us in this journey of transformation and social impact.
