Old Scholar Ring Order
The opportunity to purchase a Loreto Ring has been made available to all Old Scholars of Loreto Marryatville.
This beautiful Loreto engraved ring will provide a tangible symbol of your connection with Loreto and link you with the many members of the Loreto community throughout Australia and worldwide. The Loreto Crest was through to have been developed by Mother Teresa Ball as an expression of Loreto spirituality. It first appeared in the letterhead of letters written by Mother Teresa Ball in 1851.
There are four symbols on the Loreto Crest:
The Cross – The emblem of Salvation
The Sacred Heart – The Heart of Jesus
The Loving Heart – The pierced Heart of Mary
The Anchor – The symbol of Hope
Orders are placed in May each year to accommodate our graduating Year 12s. Orders received by the end of May are filled by November. Any orders placed after this date are included in the following year’s order. All orders will proceed at the approval and discretion of the Principal with recipients of the ring for graduating scholars only.
Please visit your local jeweller to determine your ring size. Sizes are usually a letter from P-N. Remember to measure the finger on which you wish to wear your ring. There are no returns due to incorrect sizing.
The cost of the ring includes GST and handling, and all orders must be accompanied by payment to proceed.
Please click here to place your order before May 31.
All rings are to be collected from the College Senior Reception once notified of arrival.
