Our Dominican Sisters
The Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia are honored to administer St. Vincent de Paul School since 1996, following in the footsteps of women religious of the Sisters of Loretto and the Sisters of St. Joseph. The goal of our community is the glory of God, the sanctification of our Sisters through the living of the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience as well as the Christian education of youth. The characteristics of our charism include the contemplative life, an active apostolate, a strong community life, and love of the Church. We serve in schools in the continental US, Canada, Europe and Australia.
