In the beginning…
June 26, 1953—Our Lady of Loretto Parish was established by Edward Cardinal Mooney, who appointed Fr. Clair J. Berry the first pastor. Two weeks later, the first Masses were celebrated at Bulman Elementary School. Construction was begun on the present church October 26, 1953, with the first Masses celebrated there May 23, 1954.

Listen, my friend!
Listen, my friend! Your helplessness is your best prayer. It calls from your heart to the heart of God with greater effect than all your uttered pleas. He hears it from the very moment that you are seized with helplessness, and He becomes actively engaged at once in hearing and answering the prayer of your helplessness.
