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.
This week on Facebook, Loretto is delighted to give you a glimpse of our partnerships with Seeds of Canela and the Kansas Black Farmers Association. These partnerships are living expressions of Loretto’s Land Ethic in practice.

Special visitors arrived at Loretto Motherhouse on Sept. 20 from the town of Nicodemus in northwest Kansas.
Nine women from one extended family traveled to Loretto to explore how their history overlaps Loretto’s history with both enslavement of Black people and operation of Indian boarding schools. Organized today as the Kansas Black Farmers Association, the group also shares Loretto’s keen interest in regenerative agriculture.
Hear the presentation of their history and work below, given at Loretto on Sept. 20: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmroKqFme5A
