Catholic Sociological Society, 1959. Her research and publications were on social change, which was the subject of her presidential address to the ACSS. Echoing two of her predecessors in the ACSS presidency, Sister Mary Edward called for the study of Catholicism itself.

She placed this within the wider scope of social change and Catholic education. —Loretta M. Morris |
