Rome - Assisi Pilgrimage

Mary Aloysius Molloy
“Extraordinary Woman”

The National Women’s History Project (NWHP) selected Mary Aloysius Molloy as one of its 2006 honorees.   The National Women’s History Project is a self-sustaining, non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the contributions and accomplishments of women to schools and to professional, educational, and business organizations.

Ann Patterson Gibson ‘69 nominated Mary Molloy because of her foundational role in bringing the opportunity of Catholic higher education for women to southern Minnesota.   On October 25, 2005, Ann received this message from Molly Murphy MacGregor, Executive Director of the National Women’s History Project:

I am very happy to announce that the National Women’s History Project has selected Mary Aloysius Molloy (1880-1954) as one of our 2006 honorees as a woman who is a builder of communities and dreams...Thank you for nominating this extraordinary woman.

Having Molloy’s image and brief biography appear in NWHP’s monthly materials means that women and men everywhere can learn what we Teresans have always known:  that Mary Aloysius Molloy was truly an extraordinary woman.
