“Be who you are and be that perfectly well.” – St. Francis de Sales
Dear <salutation>: For more than 162 years, students have entered Mount de Sales Academy as girls and graduated as academically prepared, faith-filled, well-rounded women. Our success is rooted in our heritage with a focus on the future. The Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia of Nashville, Tennessee have built upon the strong foundation laid by the Visitation Sisters who established Mount de Sales Academy. The heritage of the Visitandines is still evident as we honor their founder, St. Francis de Sales, with our 2014-2015 school year theme: “Be who you are and be that perfectly well.” As we encourage students to live by this and other Golden Counsels of St. Francis de Sales, we strive to provide the resources and opportunities to make this possible. Much of the success in achieving this comes through support outside of tuition, and your help is needed! Please consider making a gift to the Annual Fund Campaign. Your tax-deductible donation will directly benefit our current students who are achieving amazing results (see Sailor Points of Pride on the reverse). Your financial support will help us do even more for all of our students. As you consider my request to support the Mount de Sales Academy Annual Fund, I leave you with a final thought: “THERE IS NOTHING SMALL IN THE SERVICE OF GOD.”
– St. Francis de Sales
Your gift is a service to God and the students of Mount de Sales Academy. Sincerely in Christ and with Gratitude,
Sister Mary Thomas Huffman, O.P. Principal
