Mary Ward Grant

Mary Ward (1585-1645) founded the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, known in Australia as Loretto IBVM Sisters.  Convinced that “women in time to come will do much” she believed passionately in the education of women to their full potential and to the highest contemporary standards. In order to promote the dignity and role of women in the church and society, the Mary Ward Grant was established to support specialist or post graduate study of Theology, spirituality and pastoral ministry.  Priority is given to Catholic lay women.  For full application details please contact:
