    Number and type of members: The Loretto Community consists of Sisters of Loretto and Loretto Co-members, women and men who are members of the Community and share its values and mission. The congregation of the Sisters of Loretto at the Foot of the Cross was founded on the Kentucky frontier in 1812, making it one of the first Roman Catholic communities of women religious established in the United States. Today, our 147 Sisters and 202 Co-members continue to live out the Loretto Community’s mission to “work for justice and act for peace because the Gospel urges us.”
