Loretto Gathering 2026: The joy in the Motherhouse was palpable. Reconnecting with folks who hadn’t visited in a long time was wonderful. The almost-overflowing dining room was filled with chatter and laughter.

Loretto at the UN, established in 1991, and now in partnership with the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, offers unique opportunities for students and recent college grads to experience the workings of the UN. Along the way, these young adults gain invaluable experience and explore potential careers. They interact with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and learn all about advocacy in action. Below we focus on college-age volunteers and interns. In our next Loretto Magazine issue, we’ll share high school students’ experiences. Happy 35th birthday, Loretto at the UN!

When Nancy Wittwer SL learned that a new Jesuit middle school for boys from low-income Black families was planned for St. Louis, she was prompted to ask a critical question. That question — “What about the girls?” — followed by dedicated work by Nancy and others, led to the opening of Marian Middle School in 2000. Today the school is a thriving haven of learning and safety serving girls of all backgrounds and the only private Catholic middle school in the St. Louis region that serves urban adolescent girls in a faith-based setting.
“Marian Middle School was built on the belief that opportunity takes root early — especially for girls with immense promise and limited financial means. At Marian, that belief becomes a foundation. For Marian girls, education is a stepping stone to colleges, careers and lives of impact.
“The Sisters of Loretto’s educational legacy flows from Marian Middle School to Nerinx Hall High School as, year after year, the majority of Marian alumnae choose to go on to Nerinx, a Loretto-founded school. Since 2006, 24 Marian grads have attended Nerinx, continuing a thriving tradition of leadership, scholarship and purpose. This fall, eight Marian students will return, and Nerinx will welcome three new Marian freshmen.”
