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.
What we do
Educators since 1812, Loretto continues its long and vital tradition of teaching in diverse and meaningful ways.
Loretto’s advocacy flows from our commitment to the Gospel and our belief that justice is love in action.
Loretto brings the healing spirit of God into the world through the Loretto Living Center and beyond.
Loretto is rooted in the outpoured love of Christ and Mary’s steadfast presence at the foot of the cross.
