| History & Tradition St.
Angela Catholic School opened in 1973 and is currently one of three elementary schools in
St. Andrew's parish. Our school was named after St. Angela Merici, one of the great
figures in the history of Catholic education. Born in 1474 at Desenzano, a small town in
Italy, St. Angela became convinced that the great need of her time was better instruction
for young girls in the rudiments of religion. She began her educational work by gathering
the little girls of the town into her home daily and teaching them the elements of
Christianity. Her work was extremely successful and in 1535 she founded the Ursuline
Order, the first teaching order of women established by the Church. For four centuries the
Ursuline Sisters have carried on the work of educating young girls in the spirit of their
saintly Foundress.
The tradition of cooperation between the parish, home and
school has been evident throughout its history. The teachers, students, parents and
priests pray, work and learn together embracing the motto of St. Angela School:
"Bienveillance, Sharing and Caring." |
