Working for justice and acting for peace since 1812
The Loretto Community
We are the Congregation of the Sisters of Loretto and Loretto Co-members. We work for justice and act for peace because the Gospel urges us.
Living our mission
Our priority concerns are immigration justice, care for Earth and the abolition of nuclear weapons.
Loretto Community members work for justice and act for peace in the United States, at the United Nations and around the world, including in education, healthcare, spiritual accompaniment, the empowerment of women, environmental stewardship, anti-discrimination, land acknowledgement and advocacy.

Many of the members of the Loretto Community in El Paso respond to the needs of the migrant. Irma Avila, Buffy Boesen, Kathleen Corbett and Jane German are part of the laundry crew that provides clean towels and blankets to the migrants who stay at Sacred Heart Church. In addition Kathleen, Irma and Helen offer transportation for migrants going to the airport and bus stations. Jackie Diego-Medina helps at one of the migrant shelters as needed and Irma responds to requests from Mexican Social Security beneficiaries who request hospitality at Casa Papa Francisco migrant shelter.
