Loretto Women's Network

The Loretto Women’s Network (LWN) is a network within the Loretto Community. It is a voluntary association of Loretto women and men who are committed to act for the empowerment of women. LWN members work toward transforming institutional, personal, and structural relationships based on LWNdomination and subordination, both within the Loretto Community and beyond it.

LWN members act privately or publicly whenever they feel they can make a difference in achieving rights of women in church and society. The network sponsors a winter meeting open to anyone interested to explore ways of furthering the purposes. Often there is a summer meeting as well. During national Loretto meetings, LWN presents the Mary Rhodes Award to selected non-Loretto women who have worked for women’s rights.

The Loretto Women’s Network Identity Statement presents the stands of LWN more fully.
