Life of Venerable Nano Nagle

Nano Nagle the founder of the Presentation Sisters, and pioneer of Catholic Education in Ireland was born at Country Cork, Ireland in 1718.Born into a wealthy Catholic family, Nano Nagle had the advantage of a Catholic Education in Ireland and in France. She was also assured of a comfortable future. But Nano heard the call of God in the cry of the poor, condemned as they were to ignorance, superstition and loss of faith. Conscious of her own weakness, she resisted the call but, after much suffering and heart-searching, Nano responded having discovered the why of her life.

Nano believed that education was a powerful means of transforming society and despite great personal and family risk she began her mission among the poor in the “Little Schools” in Cove Lane, Cork, Ireland. Besides the 3 R’ s taught in her schools, a strong and informed religious faith was seen as the real means to happiness and contentment. To ensure the continuation of her work she founded the Presentation Sisters in 1775.
