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.
The Loretto Community gathered at the Loretto Motherhouse in Nerinx, Ky., with joy and gratitude Oct. 18 to celebrate the first profession of vows of Saima and Shaista.

Saima and Shaista had especially wanted to profess their vows during October, a month dedicated to Mary, whose loving presence and guidance have long been central to their faith. Their profession marked not only a deepening of their commitment to God and Loretto, but also the continuation of a vocational journey that began through their teaching and ministry in Pakistan. Their move to the United States required crossing borders of geography, language and culture, a journey made possible through faith, perseverance and the support of the Loretto Community.
