Construction began on the new Our Lady of Loreto Church/School in June of 1961. On September 24, 1961, the cornerstone was laid. The ceremony was conducted by Monsignor Carl P. Hensler and Monsignor Jacob C. Shinar, along with Loreto's pastor Father Arthur Garbin. All parish families were asked to send a medal or a family memento to be sealed in the cornerstone. Construction continued for another year. The completed structure was dedicated August 22, 1962.
