We dedicate our lives to the mission of Jesus in our world, discerning where the need is greatest.

We embrace an attitude of freedom and availability as we respond through Education; Social and Spiritual Ministry, Pastoral Care, Chaplaincy and the Creative Arts.

Loreto Sisters and our colleagues share our gifts and skills, particularly through the empowerment of women. Sisters who are no longer able to actively participate in apostolic work, join in the mission of the Institute through their loving support and prayer.
