March is one of my favorite times of the year. I love Women’s History Month because it reminds us just how powerful women have always been in shaping the world around us.
At Vista Maria, that history is a major part of who we are. Our mission began with Saint Mary Euphrasia, a woman who refused to accept that compassion had limits. In the 1800s, when many women and children were dismissed or forgotten, she stepped up and created an international network centered on dignity, opportunity, and the belief that every person deserves a chance to thrive.
She didn’t wait for permission. She saw a need and said, “Let’s go.”
That same spirit lives on today. I see it in the women leading organizations, mentoring young people, advocating for families, and showing up every single day to make our communities stronger. I also see it in the women on our staff, in our volunteers, in our partners, and especially in the young women we serve who are discovering their own strength and voice.
Women’s History Month isn’t just about celebrating the past. It’s about continuing the work and asking ourselves how we can open more doors, support more families, and create more opportunities for the next generation.
The women who changed history didn’t just admire progress. They built it.
At Vista Maria, we’re proud to carry that legacy forward every day.
Let’s go. 💪
