About Loreto Ministries

Progressively expanding access to high quality, inclusive education within our Loreto Schools and providing leadership in response to contemporary needs.

Established in 2015 by the Australia and South East Asia Province of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), Loreto Ministries is a not-for-profit public company responsible for the governance of Loreto schools in Australia, which educate over 6,000 students and employ over 1000 staff.

Loreto Ministries aims to build upon the Loreto Province mission and ensure the ongoing sustainability across two key areas of specialty, overseeing education and also developing operations. It is responsible for seven Loreto Catholic schools in Australia, two associated schools and Loreto Vietnam.

Each school has a unique spirit underpinned by the values of the Gospel and the charism of Mary Ward. Students and our wide network of friends, including both past and present students, continue to contribute enormously to Australian society and the Church in a myriad of ways.
