Loreto College, Kolkata Affiliated to University of Calcutta

Welcome to Loreto College

Loreto College, Calcutta was founded in 1912 by the Sisters of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), commonly known as Loreto, a catholic religious order established by Mary Ward in 1609. The College has a rich history marked by its pioneering role in women's education in India and began as an extension of the School Department of Loreto House. A few rooms were allotted to school leavers and they were prepared privately for the university examinations at which they appeared as non-collegiate students. In 1912-1913, it became one of the first women's colleges to gain affiliation to the University of Calcutta, allowing its senior students to sit for university exams. Affiliation was first granted for Intermediate Arts and later for BA (Bachelor of Arts), ISC (Intermediate Science). Additionally, Loreto College was also affilia...

Teacher in Charge
Loreto College, Kolkata

Our college, rooted in the legacy of our founder, Mary Ward, stands as a testament to her vision of education: "Women in time to come will do much." This powerful statement continues to inspire us as we strive to empower our students and foster their holistic development.

In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP), we recognize the importance of a transformative educational framework that emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, and inclusivity. The NEP encourages us to cultivate an environment where every student can flourish, embracing not only academic excellence but also life skills that prepare them for the challenges of the future.

Our commitment to the principles of Mary Ward will guide us as we integrate innovative teaching practices, promote interdisciplinary learning, and support the overall development of our students. Together, we will create a nurturing space that values diversity, encourages collaboration, and empowers our young women to become leaders in their communities.

Prayer

Lord, enlighten my mind with truth; Inflame my heart with love; Inspire my will with courage; Enrich my life with service. Pardon what I have been; Sanctify what I am; And order what I shall be.

Mary Ward

Loreto College, Kolkata, was established in 1912 by the Religious of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (I.B.V.M.). The order was founded by MARY WARD (1585-1645), a dynamic English Catholic lady, in an age when Catholics were persecuted in England. Europe was torn by religious dissension and women’s rights were generally ignored. A determined visionary, she managed, with the help of some devoted companions, to set up schools for young women.

In 1625, she established a religious order for women with very unusual features. Women religious were usually cloistered, under the jurisdiction of the local bishop, Mary Ward envisioned a very active order, working in the society at large for the education and upliftment of both rich and poor women. She asked for self-government under direct Papal jurisdiction. Mary Ward faced condemnation within the Catholic Church and suppression of her order, as her plans were far ahead of her times. However, she remained convinced that "women in time to come will do much". A second institute, known as the ’Institute of Mary’ was established in her lifetime but its Rule was approved in 1703, when Pope Clement XI declared "Let women be governed by women". In 1877, Pope Pius IX sanctioned the Institute. It was in 1909 that Mary Ward was publicly acknowledged as the Foundress of the Institute.
