to nineteenth centuries. In particular, It aims to explore the trends and developments in Mariology in England during the nineteenth century, and
through an examination of historical resources texts, and the writings of the founder, to gain some insight into Mary Potter's own Mariology. It is a
project designed for on-going education for all LCM Sisters, their Associates, families and friends.
