LFN
The LFN (formerly known as LWN) is a voluntary association of feminists in the larger Loretto Community (The Loretto community is composed of Sisters of Loretto and Loretto Co-Members). We are committed to act for the empowerment of women and all people. We agree to work toward transforming institutional, personal, and structural relationships based on domination and subordination, both within the Loretto Community and beyond it.
