Loretto’s mission work takes many forms around the world

Father Charles Nerinckx, priest-founder of the Sisters of Loretto, once wrote, “Imitate the burning zeal of Jesus and Mary.” His words to our early sisters and to us today carry a lot of weight. Think about it: Imitate Jesus and Mary… What a challenge to do as they did!

Burning zeal … All Christians carry the light of Christ. In that light we do mission.

Living deeply in the love of God is the Loretto way. Only in this way can we trust a future we cannot see. We go from where we are to where God wants us to be. This week on Loretto’s Facebook page we highlight just a few of the myriad examples of the Community’s mission work.
