It provided cottage accommodation to seven children who had been placed there by their parents or who were wards of the state. Loreto was established to support the Sisters of Charity's move away from institiutional care to cottage care. The Home was originally managed by St Joseph's Orphanage, then St Joseph's Child Care Centre. From 1978 Centacare ran Loreto. Loreto closed in 1982.
