Loretto’s New History Sampler: Treasured Threads, New Stitches

Posted on April 27, 2026, by Loretto Community

Children love stories. Adults love stories. Words that might give life. Words that bring people together to reclaim their wholeness, words that welcome and can take that inner journey toward new life. Words that are the story.

Recorded history provides essential context for understanding the present and fostering identity. It preserves legacy and gives new perspectives on life. The new “Loretto History Sampler, Volume II: Treasured Threads, New Stitches” gives the reader a new perspective on the past and present. As you read you will see how Loretto developed from 1987 to the present. The reader will learn from the past, both in Loretto and the world’s recorded time, and connect to Loretto’s roots, shared identity, goals and values, successes and hopes.

As the reader investigates the new Loretto History Sampler, new insights into Loretto’s story will come. The reader will see God’s handiwork in the lives of the members and get insight into how God’s grace has worked through the years.

I am the story. You are the story. We are the story.
