One of the first things families notice at St. Croix Catholic School is the presence of the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia.
Who the sisters are
The sisters teach in our classrooms, form our students in the faith, and shape the school’s character and culture by their presence and charism.
The Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, founded in Nashville in 1860, are a community of consecrated religious women in the Order of Preachers, the religious family founded by St. Dominic. They live a contemplative-apostolic life rooted in prayer that enables them to go forth and preach the Gospel in service to the Church. Their charism, the particular gift their community offers the Church, is expressed through teaching. The Dominican Sisters have taught at St. Croix Catholic School since 2002.
The gift they bring to our school
The sisters form students not only through what they teach but through who they are. Their life of prayer and their joy in the classroom show children that faith and learning belong together, and that a life given to God is a life fully alive. Learn more about the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia
