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.
Who loves you more than you love yourself? This week on our social media we feature the furry and the fuzzy - beloved pets of Loretto members!

The 2026 Season of Creation starts today with the “World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation.” In honor of this season, we are highlighting some of the Community’s ongoing ministry of care for Earth.
The Loretto Community is committed to participating in the Laudato Si’ Action Platform, and many of the Loretto schools have done the same. Liz Deines SL, acting campus minister at Loretto Academy in El Paso, Texas, created Laudato Si’ monthly calendars to get that message across to all three schools on the campus, and she has enthusiastically allowed us to share it more widely.
Liz created Laudato Si’ calendars for classroom teachers. She says, “Since my life has been classroom teaching, I know what teachers are up against, especially when something new is introduced in a school. I wanted some way of providing information to the teachers and staff that would help them with their ‘conversion of heart’ without dumping more on their plates.
“The calendars provide information that they don’t have to take time to hunt down. When possible, I have included materials to share with the students. And some of the teachers have let me know that they are using the materials and sharing with the kids.”
Please feel free to download, use and share the calendars here: www.lorettocommunity.org/living-laudato-si-daily/
