The Sisters of Loretto or the Loretto Community is a Catholic religious institute that strives to bring the healing Spirit of God into our world. It is committed to improving the conditions of those who suffer from injustice, oppression, and deprivation of dignity. The Sisters of Loretto were founded in 1812 by three women, Mary Rhodes, Ann Havern, and Christina Stuart, under the guidance of Rev. Charles Nerinckx in Kentucky, under the name of Friends of Mary at the Foot of the Cross. Their mission was to educate the poor children of the frontier. When the community was formed into a religious congregation, it was renamed the Sisters of Loretto at the Foot of the Cross. The Sisters were early collaborators with the Jesuits in their missionary endeavors among the native Americans.
