Biographical History
The Sisters of Loretto operated the Catholic School of the Nativity in Flagstaff, Arizona from 1899-1966.
In 1812 at Hardin's Creek, Kentucky, Father Charles Nerinckx founded the Sisters of Loretto at the Foot of the Cross, the first Catholic religious order of women in the United States to have no European affiliation.
In 1823 Bishop William Dubourg asked Father Nerinckx to send sisters to work in Missouri, and twelve sisters went there to establish the first Lorettine house outside Kentucky. They settled in Perry County and worked there in cooperation with Vincentian Fathers including Joseph Rosati and John Timon, both of whom later became bishops.
