Srs Melinda & Mary raise their hands in support

The Loretto Sisters | IBVM are women called by God to a life of prayer and service, committed to enriching the lives of God’s people, especially women, and to the promotion of justice, peace and integrity of creation. We have faith in our founder Mary Ward’s declaration “that women in time to come will do much”.
