Seeking Home: Commemorating 200 years of the Sisters of Loretto at Loretto Motherhouse

What: Commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Loretto’s journey from Little Loretto (near St. Charles Church in Marion County, Ky.) to the current site of the Loretto Motherhouse in Nerinx, Ky.

Loretto will commemorate the journey with a caravan of cars and farm wagons, and area students will serve as an honor guard for the Blessed Sacrament, just like the school kids did 200 years ago.

When: Thursday, June 27th, 5-9PM

Where: Departure from St. Charles Catholic Church

Modes of Transportation*: Vehicles, Hay Wagons, Some Walking

*Space on wagons may be limited, so please have a backup plan to carpool to the Loretto Motherhouse. Walking is encouraged for short distances.

Arrival: Please join us for Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament on the porch of Rhodes Hall at Loretto Motherhouse.

A printable flyer with all the details is here. The Record ran a story with event details as well – you can read it on their website here.

Please RSVP by June 24th to join the caravan!
