Directions . . .

Saints Peter & Paul Church and Academy is located in Loretto, MN, which is 10 miles west of I494, about 1 mile south of Hwy 55. We are very close to Plymouth. Loretto is in western Hennepin County. We are in a small town rural setting, with close access to the suburbs and city. Loretto is just off of Hwy 55 on the way to Rockford and Buffalo. We are ten minutes from Delano, ten minutes from Long Lake,  twelve minutes from Plymouth, twenty minutes from Minnetonka and Wayzata, and thirty minutes from downtown Minneapolis. (Times are approximate, depending on traffic.)

If you are coming from Minneapolis, you can either take Olson Memorial Highway/Highway 55 westbound all the way out, or you can take I394 west to I494 north.

Taking Olson Memorial Hwy/Hwy 55 - From Minneapolis, take Olson Memorial Hwy west. After it gets out of Minneapolis Olson Mem. Hwy. becomes State Hwy. 55. Follow Hwy 55 west for approximately twenty miles. Follow Hwy. 55 to the stoplight at County Road 19. Take a left at 19. Go about one mile into Loretto. Take a left at the brick Post Office building (the building is on your left) and you’ll see the church and academy ahead of you. If you cross the railroad tracks you’ve gone a half-block too far.

Taking I394 - Take I394 West to I494 North. Take 494 North to the Highway 55 exit. Go left at the exit light (West). Follow Hwy. 55 approximately ten miles to the stoplight at County Road 19. Take a left at 19. Go about one mile into Loretto. Take a left at the brick Post Office building (the building is on your left) and you’ll see the church and academy ahead of you.
