Sister Patricia Cruise, S.C., joined Seton High School this year as its President. Check here for her monthly musings.
"A father called me recently with heartfelt thanks for the tuition assistance his daughter received. I could tell that he was proud of his daughter, and very humbled by the gift, saying 'I want you to know, Sister Tricia, that as soon as we can, I will do whatever you need done up there at Seton.'"
He choked back the proud tears of a father who understands the value of education here at Seton, and the cost.
When I think about his words, "...whatever you need done up there" I know that our work here is valued. I feel God's presence. I know that we are embodying St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's direction, and Mother Margaret George's legacy.
This year, we've been able to fund 70% of all tuition needs -- but we would like to assist 100% of the girls who wish to attend Seton and can't because of financial challenges.
Thank you for your gifts and for entrusting your daughter's academic and spiritual education to us. As we continue to celebrate the Sisters of Charity 200th Anniversary, I invite you to join in remembrance of the legacies of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Mother Margaret George and all of the Sisters of Charity whose contributions help Seton fulfill its mission of developing young women of faith, service and leadership within a Catholic Christian community and provide academic excellence to a diverse student population.
