A BRIEF  HISTORY

The Dominican Order was founded by St. Dominic de Guzman in the 13th century in France. As with all religious communities, many things have changed over the span of its 800 years, but its core principles and goals remain true to Dominic’s vision. 

Dominicans seek to bring gospel-revealed Truth (Veritas) and their passion for God to others. They do this in a variety of ways that perhaps are best understood through the Four Pillars.

The Four Pillars give us insight into Dominican spirituality and its flexibility in response to God and the challenges of the day.

​

​

The Four Pillars stand for :
Prayer, Study, Community and Preaching

  • Developing intellectual curiosity and competence in each student

  • Promoting and embracing an awareness of and involvement in the cultural, economic, ethnic, religious and physical diversity in the school, local, national, and global communities

  • Building a strong and nurturing school community where all are valued and all live in a spirit of collaboration and cooperation

TESTIMONIALS

“We have been a part of St. Mary’s school since 2014, and wouldn’t have it any other way. The curriculum that St. Mary’s offers is exactly what we are wanting for our children. One thing that really stands out to us is how invested the staff is in helping the students become the best version of themselves, not only academically but in their everyday lives as well. We look forward to what the future holds for our kids here at St. Mary’s. Go Angels!”
