Sr. Mary Grace, S.V., grew up on the shores of Sydney, Australia, and graduated from the University of Notre Dame Australia with a degree in Theology. Captivated by the beauty of each human life and feeling compelled to lay down her life to protect it, she directed Campus Ministry before entering the Sisters of Life in 2013. Sister Mary Grace made her first vows in 2018 and Final Vows in 2023. She has spent the three years in Canada, serving vulnerable pregnant women and their unborn children, inviting those wounded by abortion into the healing mercy of Jesus, and offering retreats. She currently resides in a Convent in the Bronx, New York, serving as Director of the Evangelization Mission, which coordinates the sharing of the charism of life and fostering a culture of life throughout the US and worldwide. She is also co-host of Let Love: A podcast with the Sisters of Life.
