Formation
The expression of our Catholic faith takes on many forms in Loreto schools. Loreto Ministries supports our schools and ministries with formation processes and resources aimed at deepening our appropriation of Gospel values, the charism of Mary Ward, the spirit of founders Teresa Ball and Gonzaga Barry, Ignatian spirituality and the education mission of the Catholic church.
