Mary Potter
Mother Mary Potter (22 November 1847 – 9 April 1913) founded the Little Company of Mary in 1877. On 8 February 1988, Pope John Paul II proclaimed her Venerable.
==Early life==
Mary Potter was born in a rented house at 23 Old Jamaica Road in Bermondsey, South London. Mary was the fifth child and the only girl born to William and Mary Anne (Martin) Potter. Mary had a congenital heart and lung disease which left her with frail health and a permanent cough for the rest of her life. Her father left the family home in 1848, went to Australia, and never returned, leaving Mrs. Potter to raise the children by herself.
When Mary was 19, she was introduced to her brother’s friend, Godfrey King and became engaged to him. After being engaged for only four months, Mary wrote to Godfrey to terminate the engagement. She was guided in this decision by Bishop Grant, who suggested she seek her calling as a religious sister.
Mary understood then that God had plans for her future and she was open to advice. Mary wrote in her reflections that as she was delicate, her mother suggested that Brighton would be a healthy place for her to go, and so they went to seek advice about her vocation at the Sisters of Mercy Convent.
