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.

In the beauty of these peach tree blossoms, I see summer peaches dripping with juice AND I see Monday night’s frost that will likely destroy that potential. As I look at the world around me, may I celebrate the beauty of possibility even at the risk of loss… #LorettoRetreats #MondayMusings ... See MoreSee Less
