Note from the Editors:

With much anticipation, The Mary Word editing team present the latest issue of The Mary Word. Marking this Valentine’s season of love, ‘Love Story (Mary’s Version)’ is inspired by the whimsical, light-heartedness of February 14th and a bit of Taylor Swift too. This issue has a collection of engaging articles, comics, quizzes and videos.

Never before has a Mary Word issue been released so early in the year- a testament to the hard work of the editing, writing and designing team. We hope you enjoy this latest issue and we look forward to upcoming issues too!
