About
The Mary Ward Centre for Education, Spirituality and Justice is a Ministry of the Loretto Sisters (IBVM Canada).
We seek to promote peace, justice and the integrity of creation through social analysis, theological/spiritual reflection, education, action, and advocacy.

Our Mission
We aim to encourage agents of change through a process of mutual accompaniment – walking with those on the margins and creating spaces for mutual transformation.
​
We encounter the realities of the world through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching, inspired by the Ignatian tradition and Mary Ward’s principles of freedom, justice, and sincerity.
​
We facilitate experiences, celebrations, workshops and events that nourish individuals and groups and inspire them to move out into action. ​
​
Our Vision
By examining and responding to many of the injustices prevalent in our world, we hope to accompany and encourage others to work with us to create a world of right relationship.
We work collaboratively with other religious organizations, educational institutions, faith-based justice groups, and civil society to improve the lives of all of God’s creation.
