The Loretto Community is a community consisting of Sisters of Loretto and CoMembers, sharing a mission to work for justice and act for peace. The Loretto Community at the United Nations advocates on the international level for the issues and values of concern to the community, including peace & justice, the rights of women & girls, the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants, disarmament and social development. Having an office at the UN allows the Loretto Community to advocate for and empower those whose voices are often neglected in the world system.
Sally Dunne is Loretto Community's Representative to the UN. There are also two Loretto Volunteers at the UN, Mary Jo Ryan and Stephanie Wolfe. Rosa Lizarde, a Loretto co-member in process, shares the office with us and works primarily with the Feminist Taskforce of the Global Call to Action against Poverty.
