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!

One of the oldest quilts on display this year was a whole cloth quilt stitched by the great-grandmother of Anthony Mary Sartorius SL, photographed here examining the stitches. This quilt has been in our collections for many years, but unfortunately, the information we have about its construction is sparse. We do know it was made in the late 1800s. This year, we had several quilts that were constructed in the 1800s on display.
