Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
In August 1961, Sister Stanislaus of the Convent of Mercy, Gort, County Galway, Ireland, missioned three sisters to teach at St. Teresa School. Sister Margaret Kenny, Sister Mary Mercy Mongey, and Sister Patrick Hennelly arrived in Titusville on November 12, 1961. The beginnings of the school had already taken root. Two lay teachers had started school in September with an enrollment of fifty children in Grades One through Three. Classes were held in the old church (now the Parish Center).
After fifty-five years, St, Teresa School will continue to adapt in response to the changing demands of the times but the dedication and commitment of the first brave pioneers will live on in the heritage and inspiration they have left us. Every adult who walks through the school gates, with a small hand in theirs, bears testimony to the uniqueness of Catholic Education. This educational philosophy is based on the knowledge that each individual is a unique creation of God and is on a journey of discovery toward the implications and responsibilities of this heritage. Therein lies our future and our mission: to direct each child to his/her highest potential, both spiritually and academically.
