"The obvious criteria were all there....Catholic school of excellence, above average test scores, devoted and dedicated staff, and a challenging and disciplined curriculum.  But surrounding all those statistics was what I was searching for: warmth, heart, personal contact and most importantly, a very intimate and strong spiritual community.  My daughters are learing in an environment where they can grow spiritually, academically and personally".  .......  Meridith Maskara, parent
