Dominican Sisters
The Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia Congregation came to St.
Joseph School in August 2007. Our principal, Sister Maria Christi,
and three teaching sisters are part of our parish community and
serve at St. Joseph School. The Dominican Sisters are a
congregation of religious women dedicated to Christian education,
serving in schools in fourteen states and in Australia.
From the website for the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia
Congregation:
"While every school in which our sisters teach has its own
distinctive history and culture, the presence of Dominican
religious brings a consistent and unique element to each of our
schools. Four particular features mark education in the Dominican
tradition:
- Spreading the Gospel Message: Preaching
- Love of Truth: Study
- Formation in Faith: Prayer
- United in Mission: Community.
