For the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began, students from Loretto Academy, Nerinx Hall and St. Mary’s Academy visited the Motherhouse campus for a week of service and camaraderie. The week was a great success, with the young women expressing their appreciation and gratitude for the experience and for Loretto.
