Loretto welcomes you

The Loretto Community

We are the Congregation of the Sisters of Loretto and Loretto Co-members. Since 1812, through education and service to those who are poor, we continue to work for justice and act for peace because the Gospel urges us.

2025-'26 Loretto Justice Fellow Elizabeth O'Hara shares her Spring reflection:

"My brother and I took time to catch up the other day. Like any siblings, we lead very different lives despite living under the same roof. He brought up a dinner he attended the other night. It wasn’t a tense dinner, but one where comments made didn’t sit right with him and he didn’t know why. While listening to him, it occurred to me that even though I wasn’t present at this dinner I understood what was going on.

"Through serving at my placement site, I’ve learned to read between the lines on a more nuanced level. I had the opportunity to meet people from different paths of life. I listened to their stories and didn’t realize the impact that had. One of my duties at our community center — Alamito — was to capture moments."
