More than
preservation.
HARC's mission extends beyond historical preservation. In partnership with Saint Mary's College, the center inspires future generations by highlighting the impact of Catholic sisters' work in education, health care, and social justice.
Through exhibits, programs, and research access, HARC promotes a deeper understanding of the legacy of Catholic sisters — and encourages continued engagement with the needs of those who are marginalized or living in vulnerable situations.
"Seeing and addressing the needs of those who are marginalized or living in vulnerable situations."
