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!

This Titanic quilt, made by Nancy Miles, is a Loretto Heritage Center staff favorite. Oddly enough, the sinking of the Titanic is mentioned in several materials from our collections. The event was recorded in the Motherhouse annals from that day. Annals are chronological accounts of events within a group or organization and we have them for the Loretto Motherhouse going all the way back to 1911.
Like the Titanic, the quilt show requires the coordinated effort of many people. But unlike the Titanic, the quilt show more than survived its 2026 run to make a return trip next year!
