About Our School

In September 1962, Little Flower School opened its doors to admit 182 students in grades one through six. It was staffed by four Sisters of Mercy from St. Joseph's Convent, Longford, Ireland. They came to minister in the Diocese at the request of Bishop Robert Dwyer and Monsignor Thomas Collins who was then pastor of Little Flower Parish.

At the present time, the staff consists of twelve full time and nine part time members, and benefit from our supportive parish priests. Through the years of its existence, Little Flower School has had the loyal and generous support of an active Parents' Club Organization and since 1994, an involved School Board. Together we work within the framework of our school philosophy.

Since 1962 approximately 3000 students have benefited from our commitment to quality education. Currently, 300 students of diverse economic and ethnic background are studying at Little Flower School.
