Students from Loretto Academy in El Paso, Nerinx Hall High School in St. Louis and St. Mary’s Academy in Englewood, Colo., volunteered at the Motherhouse in Nerinx, Ky., for a week in June. Theresa O’Rourke, chaperone and librarian at Loretto Academy, said, “The trip was so wonderful and good for my soul. We enjoyed every minute, especially visiting with the sisters. I think the girls enjoyed planting and gardening and baking time. They also enjoyed the time they shared with the girls from the other schools.”
