Meet Sr. Catherine Hertel, SSMO
"The Good Lord will take care of us." That's what Catherine Hertel's father always said as they worked on their family farm. Drawn to the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon, Sister Catherine loved learning - first as a student, then as a teacher. Today, she leads classes in English for Students of Other Languages (ESOL) and helps men and women earn their GEDs.
Welcome to Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon
The Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon are women of prayer, living in simplicity and sisterly love. We serve our community through child development and education, lifelong learning, elder care, sacred space for contemplation and retreat, and off-campus outreach and ministry.

It's one of the biggest nights of the year: the 2013 Valley Catholic School Benefit Gala on April 27!
Thank you for supporting our students and our school.

Monthly Reflection on Saints
Each month, the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon share the life story of a saint in “A View from the Dome.”
Each saint used his or her unique gifts to serve and to honor God. These stories carry “a message about who we are, whom we admire, and what we value.”
This month: St. Joan of Arc
