Loretto welcomes you
The Loretto Community
We are the Congregation of the Sisters of Loretto and Loretto Co-members. Since 1812, through education and service to those who are poor, we continue to work for justice and act for peace because the Gospel urges us.
Loretto has advocated for farmworkers for over 50 years. This week, we recognize them as well as the (literal) fruits of their labor. We also feature some partnerships with our neighbors along the southern border.

We're excited about our upcoming week-long Quilt Show event at the Loretto Heritage Center! We had not hosted a quilt show here since 2015 and, last year, we brought it back. We had so much fun, we've decided to do it again. During the week of October 10 - 16, quilts will fill the Museum and Conference Room; we will display quilts from regional makers as well as a few from our own collection. We're going to extend our business hours so that you'll have plenty of opportunities to visit during that time and we are asking for a $5 suggested donation which will benefit the Loretto Heritage Center. Our event is open to everyone - join us!
The quilt featured on our graphic is one from the LHC collection. It was partially pieced by Rosalie Marie Phillips SL (1915-2018) and, after her death, was finished by her cousin Anne.
