Today we celebrate St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, founder of the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph. We at Loretto honor her today because she laid the groundwork for Catholic education in the United states when she opened St. Joseph Academy and Free School.

The following video is an explanation for children about the process of becoming a Saint in the Catholic Church and is the story of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.

Lord, lead us on our daily journey towards you. You are fully aware of the challenges that lie in our way; sometimes we are surrounded by the darkness of Herods that tend to deny us of your star. Give us the grace to always recognize when Herods are in our lives and make effort to break away from their grip and keep focus until we reach our Eternal Bethlehem where we will meet You no longer at a manger but on a glorious throne. May we carry the light of the star inside of us and reveal it to all we meet.
St. John Baptist de la Salle...Pray for us!
Live Jesus in our hearts...Forever!

Loretto Academy

Loretto Academy is sad to announce the retirement of Dr. Lydia Baca. Dr. Baca has been with Loretto for over 25 years. Dr. Baca has and will continue to be a Loretto fixture. She has inspired and educated many young women during her time at Loretto. Her former students are now leaders in the STEM field and are changemakers in their communities.

While at Loretto Dr. Lydia Baca taught Biology, Human Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Human Pathology, Forensic Science, Pathophysiology, and other science courses. Recently she was the sponsor for Pre-Med Club and a classification sponsor.

Dr. Baca will be remembered for her no-nonsense attitude while putting the student first. Dr. Baca believed in all her students and always pushed them to do better and to be better.

Prior to coming to Loretto, Dr. Baca enrolled in the National Autonomous University of Mexico where she completed a five-year program. She completed the program and passed her examination to earn the title of Physician/Surgeon. The Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) recognizes a medical diploma of at least four years of study as a level of achievement which enabled Dr. Baca to seek certification to enter medical residency or fellowship in the United States. Dr. Baca then completed a rotating internship at Regina General Hospital in Canada. She was then issued her certificate indicating that she had satisfied all the requirements for certification by the ECFMG.

We wish Dr. Baca a happy, healthy, and relaxing retirement. We will miss her, but we know that she will always be a part of our Loretto family.

Please share your favorite memory of Dr. Baca below. We will share them with her.

The Cathedral High School cross country team wrapped up their season on the podium taking 4th place at the TAPPS State meet, finishing 1 point behind Central Catholic for third place.

Following closely behind was sophomore Bernard Martinez (15th, 17:25), sophomore Elijah Noble (16th, 17:30) junior Dylan Lorilla (17th, 17:31), and freshman Preston Arnett (37th, 18:19). Rounding off for the Irish was sophomore Jacob Noble (44th, 18:34), and junior Marcos Garcia (52nd, 18:58). The future looks bright for the Irish as this young core will look to return next year even stronger!
