Preserving a Legacy Worth Keeping

The Heritage and Research Center at Saint Mary's (HARC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing the remarkable history of Catholic women religious and their ministries. From hospitals and schools to prison ministry, anti-human trafficking efforts, and community food pantries, the sisters whose stories we steward changed lives — and their legacy deserves to endure.

Your support makes that possible. Donations help fund the preservation of irreplaceable documents, artifacts, and historical materials that researchers, scholars, and the public rely on to understand the profound contributions of Catholic sisters to society.
