our vision

Loretto Maryholme is approaching its 10th year as a spirituality centre and in keeping with “the signs of the time” a recent review of our focus, mission, and vision has been completed.
 

Our focus as a ministry of the Canadian Loretto Sisters is “to continue to enrich the lives of God’s people, especially women, through ministries in spirituality/pastoral care, education, service and advocacy for justice in collaboration with associates, alumnae, students, employees, colleagues, and community members.” (IBVM Canadian Province Strategic Direction)
 

Our mission as a spirituality centre continues to be “to encourage individuals and groups to explore and restore the energies needed for their personal and communal transformation.”


Our vision for the next 5 – 10 years is expressed through the following goals and strategies of a recent Strategic Planning process.
