Loretto members joined a 3,000-plus crowd in October to celebrate Nerinx’s 100-year anniversary. Festivities included a Mass, student performances, campus tours, carnival games, food from local restaurants and entertainment into the night. A light show featured images from Loretto and Nerinx history; one depicted a schoolgirl carrying three flowers representing the first Loretto sisters and founders, Mary Rhodes, Ann Havern and Christina Stuart.
