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 Heritage Center has wrapped up a successful 2026 quilt show. Check out our Facebook feed this week to learn how the quilts on display connect with Loretto Community history!

Loretto Justice Fellow Dominique Carmona shares her reflective essay "My Experience as a Loretto Justice Fellowship":
One of the things I appreciate the most about the Loretto Justice Fellowship is the community. Honestly, I feel like I’ve never met a group of people who are so dedicated, helpful, respectful, and genuinely kind. Annie, Genesis, and everyone involved in the program have made this experience feel comfortable and welcoming. They are always open to questions, willing to listen, and understanding when we need guidance. I really appreciate how flexible and supportive everyone is, because it makes the experience feel less intimidating and a lot more enjoyable.
I also really enjoy our community meals because they give us the opportunity to connect with each other outside of our individual placements. I feel like the people involved in Loretto have created a little home within the fellowship, and that is something that has really stood out to me. Seeing how passionate everyone is about their work and the communities they serve has been inspiring. It makes me excited to be part of a group of people who genuinely care about what they do. It also reminds me of the kind of environment I want to be part of as I continue growing in my career. Being surrounded by people who are so willing to help and support others has made me feel even more connected to the purpose behind social work.
My experience at Alamito Community Learning Center has also been special to me. Working with people of different ages in Segundo Barrio has allowed me to become part of a community that I had not really experienced before. Even though I grew up in El Paso, I had never been part of this community in the way I am now. There is something special about the culture, the people, and the way the community comes together. Being able to work in a community learning center has given me the opportunity to connect with people from different backgrounds and generations, from children to older adults, and I feel grateful that I get to be part of that.
