About Mary Garson (nun)
- Mary Sunniva Garson MBE (3 October 1921 – 8 March 2007) was a Scottish nun.
- A Catholic convert from Presbyterianism, she bought a house to form a community after being convinced wider action was necessary to help the infirm, after visiting a semi-blind elderly woman caring for two people.
- As her work began to steadily increase, Garson purchased a second house which allowed her to expand and began to provide sheltered accommodation.
- The community was later recognised as a pious union in 1959, and she became known as "Sister Mary Garson".
- Her group later expanded overseas and adopted the Rule of St Benedict in 1978.
