Join us as we celebrate Loretto’s nearly 40 nonagenarians!
Two of these notable, numinous individuals are Loretto Sisters Joan Spero and Mary Ellen McElroy. These lovely women are our newest nonagenarians, having celebrated their 90th birthdays this year. Throughout their lives they have helped others reach their potential with knowledge of God’s love. They have responded to God’s invitation to live life to its fullness. Loretto has deep admiration for and appreciation of them, and for each of our nonagenarians.
Regardless of our ages, we all can count on this: God’s love is freely given and everlasting. There is nothing we can do, no matter our age, to have God stop loving us – thank God for that!
This week on our socials we will share wisdom and perspectives from some of these Loretto members of the 90s.
