==Legacy== Bishop Loras is still remembered as one of the pioneers of the Catholic Church in Iowa. The college run by the archdiocese in Dubuque, which had numerous name changes in its history, was named after Loras in 1939. Loras Boulevard in Dubuque was also named in his memory. In 2020, his statue was removed from Loras Boulevard after evidence surfaced that Loras had funded some of his missionary work using money earned from the labor of an enslaved person he owned in Alabama.<ref>{{Cite news |last = Waterbury |first = Robert |date = September 9, 2020 |title = Loras College Reacts to Uncovered Evidence from Bishop Loras Research |url = https://daily.loras.edu/loras-college-reacts-to-uncovered-evidence-from-bishop-loras-research/ |access-date = 2020-10-09 |work = Loras College Daily}}</ref>
