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.
The Loretto Heritage Center has wrapped up a successful 2026 quilt show. Check out our Facebook feed this week to learn how the quilts on display connect with Loretto Community history!

Loretto Co-member Ana Maria Vargas Sandoval serves as executive director of CEPROSI, the Center for Promotion and Integral Health in La Paz, Bolivia. The non-profit institution has been in existence for nearly four decades. It offers several programs, including those for women and families; programs on the attention and prevention of gender violence, with a masculinity focus; and those for attitudinal change with actions of education, communication and political advocacy.
CEPROSI is committed to solidarity-sorority, the integral development of women and families, and the values of ethics, morality, equity, spirituality and respect for the disadvantaged.
Ana Maria shares, “In recent years in many parts of the world, cases of violence have risen due to … sexist actions and cultural stereotypes that reproduce violence generating greater inequality gaps,” interculturally and intergenerationally. “And we ask ourselves, ‘What do we do to generate spaces for reflection at the structural level, based on respect for human rights and norms of coexistence without discrimination and equity?”
