Loretto on Facebook
Loretto at the UN, established in 1991, and now in partnership with the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, offers unique opportunities for students and recent college grads to experience the workings of the UN. Along the way, these young adults gain invaluable experience and explore potential careers. They interact with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and learn all about advocacy in action. Below we focus on college-age volunteers and interns. In our next Loretto Magazine issue, we’ll share high school students’ experiences. Happy 35th birthday, Loretto at the UN!

Living our mission
Because the Gospel urges us, Loretto works for justice and acts for peace through our four pillars of Education, Advocacy, Healing and Spirituality.
With priority concerns of immigration justice, care for Earth and the abolition of nuclear weapons, Loretto Community members cultivate justice and promote peace efforts 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.
