Loretto Community

As Sisters of Loretto and Co-members of Loretto, we work for justice and act for peace because the Gospel urges us.

Loretto listens deeply to the Holy Spirit and to one another so that our structures and ministries may be more agile, more transparent and more responsive to the Gospel in a synodal and collaborative way.

Our faith, our dedication, our community life, our mission – all are meant to constitute a single gift of praise and thanksgiving to the One who freely loves us all.

...I know that my membership in the Loretto Community is the concrete way that God is calling me. Together we stand with Mary at the foot of the cross and help transform the world’s suffering into Easter joy, one relationship at a time.
