Twin to Lawrence and sister to many, Loretta trained first as a nurse and then joined the convent alongside her sister, Regina (later Sr. Marius).

Throughout this time, she was able to tend to her family from the births of many nieces and nephews to the nurturing her siblings at their time of death.

With four Pick sisters joining the convent, they were most often looked at as a sisterly quartet. With so many family pictures and stories covering the four of them, we have created a special page for the four of them together named ‘Sisterly Love’.
