Dominican Sisters of Mary Joining our Faculty
St. Francis Catholic High School is pleased to announce that in addition to having a Sister of Mercy, Sr. Judy Eby, on faculty, two Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, will join our esteemed faculty for the 2019-20 academic year.
Responding to Pope John Paul II’s 1996 call for a renewal of religious life, the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, was founded in 1997 by Mother Mary Assumpta Long, former superior of the Nashville-based Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia. The community’s apostolate is Catholic education. They currently run the Spiritus Sanctus Academies, private and independent K-8 Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Lansing, Michigan, and also have small groups of sisters teaching in the Catholic dioceses of Sacramento, Austin, Phoenix, Peoria, Chicago, Columbus, The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, Galveston-Houston, and Rome at both the elementary and secondary levels.
The Sisters joining St. Francis will be placed in full-time teaching positions. Sr. Mariana McGlynn, O.P. will join our Math Department, and Sr. John Mary Corbett, O.P. will be joining our Theology Department.
We ask you to join us in welcoming Sr. Mariana and Sr. John Mary to the loving and faith-filled St. Francis Catholic High School community.
