Loretto celebrates our 2023 Jubilarians!
Posted on June 12, 2023, by Loretto Community

Loretto celebrates the Jubilarians of 75 years, 70 and 65! We offer these Sisters our love and prayers. We have watched the journey of the Jubilarians. They walk in joy, in faith, in mystery and grace. Their call, no matter how many years, does not come to an end but is always beginning. Their companion on the journey is the Holy Spirit who inspires their deep hope and their service.
This week on Facebook Loretto celebrates its following members, with a nod to the words of our priest- ounder, Father Charles Nerinckx: “Only trust your vocation, expecting all from God’s goodness.”
Celebrate with Loretto the life commitment of Loretto members Claudia Calzetta, Eleanor Craig, Maureen O’Connell, Magdalena McCloskey, Edward Sakurai, Vivian Doremus, Patricia Hennessy and Peg Jacobs — Sisters and Co-members who have walked the Loretto way for 60, 50 and 25 years. All of Loretto offers a prayer of thanksgiving for them and asks the blessing of God upon them and their ministry. We all shout, “Congratulations!”
We love you and thank you for all you have given in service to God’s people. I Am the Way, Loretto’s Constitutions, tells us, “We rely with hope on the Spirit of life whose power at work within us is able to do more than we can ask or imagine.” (Article #71)

I respectfully love what the SOL (Sisters of Loretto) have created to harvest the love and respect the Sisters sow and continue to cultivate; in what may respectfully appear within a world gone mad at times. I certainly thank my parents for giving me the good foundation I had as a Cub Scout, altar boy in Catholic grade school; married 17 years old; and marriage to the same woman for 53 years; two children and three grandchildren.
Respectfully
