Loretto Chapel -1924 - El Paso, Texas

Loretto Chapel Dedication - Bishop Schuler in 1924. The first bishop of El Paso, Bishop Schuler, was named in 1915. He was a great supporter of the educational movement begun by the Sisters of Loretto and knew there was now inadequate space in the St. Joseph's Academy building. He and Mother Praxedes Carty, the dynamo behind the construction of Loretto Academy, became good friends. She had been Superior General of the Sisters of Loretto before her appointment to El Paso in 1922 as local superior. She was well known as a builder from the very beginning of her career. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loretto_Academy_%28El_Paso,_Texas%29

I want to correct my mother’s name as printed in a comment made by me some years ago. I wrote her full name as Concepción Seggerman. That is in error. Her name in 1920 was Maria Consuelo Seggerman. Concepción was her mother, my grandmother. Frederick D Diehl, April 3, 2023

"Building sheltered Marie Reparatrice nuns who fled Mexico in April 1926. they used buildin as convent and school for refugees.until 1932. " -Eva Ross

My mother, Concepcion Seggermann (Diehl) graduated from St. Joseph's in 1920. She was the valedictorian and class historian. From there she attended University of Southern California and Texas College of Mines (today's UTEP.

Fundadora de la Academia Loretto, Madre Praxedes.

Nacida en Irlanda en 1854 y criada en St. Louis, Carty vino a Santa Fe siendo monja y en 1879 ayudo a establecer una escuela en San Elizario, cerca de El Paso.

Bungalow - Mother Praxedes

Where Mother Praxedes lived - she was founder of the Loretto Academy in El Paso, Texas. When she moved to El Paso in 1922, at the age of 68, Mother Praxedes faced another financial challenge. Although the property had been purchased and the new school had been planned, funds for construction were not available. She single handedly succeeded in raising the money to build Loretto Academy. It took fourteen years to complete the three main units of the complex. Mother Praxedes was tireless in her efforts to obtain money for construction. She traveled back to St. Louis against doctor's orders to secure a loan of $80,000.00 for completion of the project. During that time she slipped and broke her hip, an injury from which she never fully recovered. She directed the remainder of the project from her bed until she died in 1933. While construction continued, Loretto Academy held its first registration on September 10, 1923, and held its first class on September 11, 1923.

March is Women's History Month. Mother Praxedes built educational opportunities for citizens of El Paso, TX.

Mother Praxedes standing below the chapel steps.

In El Paso, one of the most recognized private educational institutions is Loretto Academy. Located in the peaceful area known as Austin Terrace, Loretto overlooks El Paso and her sister city, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. The Academy was established by the Sisters of Loretto at the Foot of the Cross who celebrated their bicentennial in 2012. The school was the last project of an Irish nun who had led the Lorettines as Superior General for more than a quarter of a century and had come back to her beloved Southwest to spend her last years: Mother Praxedes Carty. http://epcc.libguides.com/content.php?pid=309255&sid=4546375

Sister Alexander- maybe?

A Sister of Loretto having a portrait done. She is wearing the traditional religious habit that Roman Catholic orders were once required to wear. Presently, religious nuns and priests can wear "street clothes" and religious attire such as the habit is to be worn during special events. Some orders still require their nuns and priests to wear the habit at all times preserving their anchorite life.

Padre Nerinckx fundador de Hermanas de Loretto

Charles Nerinckx fue un sacerdote misionero católico que emigró de Bélgica para trabajar en Kentucky. Fundó la orden religiosa Hermanas de Loretto. Debido a su propia experiencia como refugiado obligado a esconderse en Bélgica, el Padre Nerinckx llegó a Kentucky decidido a ayudar a los pobres, los esclavos y los huérfanos. Como piloto de circuito, se encontró con otros clérigos con ideas abolicionistas que compartían su deseo de enseñar y empoderar a las personas de color. En 1824, Nerinckx anunció la formación de una alianza femenina negra en Loretto poco antes de su muerte. (2 de octubre de 1761 – 12 de agosto de 1824)
