Saint Camillus School - Silver Spring (Alumni & Friends)

THE PARTY IS POSTPONED! Due to the inclement weather this weekend, our celebration has been postponed until next Saturday, October 5 from 1-5pm. We hope you can join us then! Please spread the word!

Please join us in celebrating 70 years of Catholic Education on the St. Francis International School and St. Camillus Church Campus. In 1954, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur founded St. Camillus School which is now St. Francis International School. Since then we have welcomed partnerships with St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church founded by the Religious of Jesus and Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, St. Catherine Laboure, and Our Lady Of Vietnam Catholic Church to create what is now our regional school of St. Francis International.

We would love to see all students, families, alumni, and friends who have helped make these 70 years possible! Please join us beginning at 1:00PM in the St. Francis International parking lot for this wonderful celebration!

Saint Francis International School carries on the legacy of Catholic education begun in 1954 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur US at St. Camillus School.

Thousands of boys and girls have been nurtured by St. Camillus School, St. Camillus Child Center, and now SFIS. Please help us continue that legacy even during this challenging crisis.

This is the 65th school year here at St. Camillus Church. A few weeks ago the parish honored men and women who helped to co-found this parish and this school on these sacred grounds since 1954.

At our Founders DInner on Oct. 19th, we honored the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, who founded St. Camillus School.

We were blessed have Sr. Janet Cahill with us. Sr. Janet was a young sister living at Trinity Washington University in DC when she became the 2nd grade teacher at the brand new St. Camillus School.

We were also blessed to have Sr. Kristin Matthes with us. Sr. Kristin was the most recent SND Sister to minister in this community as the Director of Adult Faith Formation.

Over the years, dozens of Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur US have ministered in the school and parish ministries on this campus. During this National Religious Vocations Awareness Week, we want to reflect on the strength of this school and parish community that has been made possible by the vocations of these holy women!
