The Sisters of Loretto had been concerned about long-term maintenance and care at the cemetery as early as 2017, before the property was sold to Westside, and were assured then by officials that the site’s historic features would be preserved.
The bodies of 62 nuns buried in a 123-year-old cemetery at the former Loretto Heights campus in southwest Denver will be exhumed and relocated as the former Catholic school campus is redeveloped into new housing and business space.
But subsequent conversations with experts, officials, community members and others prompted the Sisters of Loretto to chose to close the site, the letter said. “The long and short of it is we are absolutely heartbroken over it,” he said of the decision to move the bodies. The area will instead be turned into a memorial park, Witkiewicz said.
