About our House
Loreto: those who come here return transformed by divine mysteries. The famous shrine hides a unique treasure: the House of the Virgin Mary, which was transported from Nazareth to Loreto in 1294. The latest studies of the Holy House confirm the Palestinian origin of the material, stones and building materials, which are completely different from the typical building style in the Marche region.
On the walls you can see numerous graffiti and engravings typical of the Judeo-Christian community that existed only in Palestine until the fifth century. Everything that is beautiful and artistic in Loreto developed around these modest stone walls connected with Christianity. Here the mystery of the "Incarnation" was announced, here the history of salvation began with Mary's "Yes" in the Annunciation, these walls were sanctified by the presence and daily life of the Holy Family and are silent witnesses to the life of the Son of God on earth.
In Loreto our "Pilgrim House" is located near the Sanctuary, at Via Cesare Maccari 7 and is commonly known as the "House of the Polish Sisters." For pilgrims there are 25 rooms (1, 2 and 3-person). There is also a chapel where you can pray individually or with the sisters' community. The sisters also invite you to the John Paul II room, who during his pilgrimage to Loreto on September 8, 1979, did not fail to visit them and emphasized their great role that they played in the past and continue to play here every day.

Our history
Until 1972, the Sisters of Nazareth were guardians of the cemetery of Polish soldiers, buried on the slope of the Sanctuary, which they heroically defended during World War II.
Currently, the Pilgrim House of the hospitable and kind Sisters of Nazareth is a haven for pilgrims and tourists from all over the world, especially for pilgrims from Poland who come to Our Lady of Loreto.
During the pilgrimage to Loreto on September 8, 1979, John Paul II did not fail to visit the Sisters and emphasized the great role they played in the past and continue to play every day.
