Villa Loretto

Villa Loretto is a nursing home in Mt. Calvary, just down the road from the St. Lawrence Seminary campus. Through the years we have developed a wonderful partnership with the sisters who staff the Villa, but more importantly with the residents there.

Ministering at Villa Loretto provides students with an opportunity to bring their youthful energy into a nursing home setting. Students are given opportunities to reflect on their experiences, and at times recognize that nursing home visitation is something they would like to do in their future. At various times through the year, students will go to the Villa to play bingo, visit and provide other support services. Students also have an opportunity to work at the Villa’s annual “Fun on the Farm” event, as well as at the Haunted House that Villa Loretto sponsors.

"I never knew how much a simple game of bingo was like Christmas to everybody in the Villa Lorreto. " Erik Rodriguez (’09).
