Nano Nagle
Honora "Nano" Nagle (1718 – 26 April 1784) founded the "Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary" (PBVM) in Ireland (also known as the "Presentation Sisters") and was a pioneer of Catholic education in Ireland. She was declared venerable in the Roman Catholic Church on 31 October 2013 by Pope Francis.
==Background==
Nano Nagle lived in a period with and in Irish history when the English had imposed the Penal Laws. The Irish were denied access economically, politically, socially, and educationally to the rights and means that would have raised them from poverty and oppression.〔 The parliamentarian and orator, Edmund Burke, who was a relative of Nagle on his mother's side, and had spent his early years in Ballygriffin (where Nagle was born), described those laws: "Their declared object was to reduce the Catholics in Ireland to a miserable populace, without property, without estimation, without education."〔("Nano Nagle: Foundress of the Presentation Order", Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Ann, Cork )〕
Catholics who dared to teach were subjected to heavy fines, confiscations, and periods of imprisonment. It was equally treasonable for Irish children to be sent overseas for their education.〔("Nano-Nagle", Domremy College )〕
