“I consider my sacred Dominican calling one of leading others to Christ by word and example.     I believe learning is a lifelong process.  My zeal is directed to God’s will ~ to bring the best of my God-given talents to a situation . . . I believe the educational process is a responsibility that is shared by parents, educators, students and the community.  I believe that every child is God’s special creation and should be allowed to learn and grow in God’s love and mercy. I encourage each person to cherish his/her God-given gifts, talents and faith by loving God, others and themselves, in a respectful manner. Education is life-long learning! We must all learn to follow in the footsteps of Christ.  He came in truth, love, and mercy. We must live in the same way! Then, we will live out the St. Rose motto: ‘Veritas et Caritas’!”
