Education
Because the Gospel urges us, Loretto works for justice and acts for peace through our four pillars of Education, Advocacy, Healing and Spirituality.
The founding members of the Sisters of Loretto – Mary Rhodes, Christina Stuart, and Ann Havern – recognized that young women needed a good education. Since 1812, Loretto teachers have educated generations of students across the United States and around the world in China, Bolivia, Peru, Chile and Pakistan.
Our long and vital tradition of teaching takes many forms; we desire to educate others as well as ourselves to truth, beauty and the ways of peace, in the spirit of Jesus.

The Sisters of Loretto are educators. Our tradition of education continues today at six Loretto-affiliated schools in the United States. When the Second Vatican Council urged women religious to address the needs of the times, sisters began to select ministries tailored to their specific talents. Today, Loretto members carry out their mission of education in many ways when they advocate for justice, work for peace and protect Earth.
