Loretto Disarmament Committee Charity Profile

The Loretto Community is committed to the gospel which compels us to work for justice and act for peace. We take our work and friendships seriously. In doing so, we invite one another to laugh, to cry, to dance, to enjoy one another’s company.

The Sisters of Loretto and Co-members comprise the Loretto Community. The Loretto Community exists to praise God and minister to people. We are people of faith and service bound together by our love of God and love of one another.
