Inspirational speaker Sister Imelda Poole MBE IBVM will visit St Mary’s Cathedral for a special event on Wednesday, July 27.

Sister Imelda, president of the Mary Ward Loreto Foundation in Albania, will speak about her work in the country and the launch of a new charity – Mary Ward Loreto UK.

The charity will facilitate cross-border work between UK and Albania, supporting Albanian trafficking victims, who are mainly women and children. Mary Ward Loreto is planting hope with a human rights approach to combating modern slavery. 

This challenging mission is implemented through works of justice, education, grassroots action and systemic change.

The overall aim is to eradicate poverty – the prime cause of human trafficking. We are delighted to welcome Sister Imelda, who is well known in our diocese.

The event takes place from 3 pm to 6 pm and refreshments will be provided. Everyone is welcome.
