History of Indianapolis All-Girls Catholic High Schools Association
Alumnae of the four former all-girls Sisters of Providence academies, as well as two academies taught by other orders, come together for fun and friendship with the Indianapolis All-Girls Catholic High Schools organization.
The association includes the SP schools of St. John’s Academy, St. Agnes Academy, Ladywood School, Ladywood-St. Agnes School, and the Benedictine school of Our Lady of Grace Academy and the Franciscan St. Mary’s Academy.
“Indianapolis area academies are celebrating our legacy by honoring the orders of sisters who taught us,” Janet Schnorr Tosick, a 1962 graduate of St. Agnes Academy said. “Since 2003, we have contributed to the continued good works of the Sisters of Providence, the Franciscans and the Benedictines who taught us.”
The association’s mission is “to resume and preserve friendships with former classmates, to recognize the religious orders that educated us, and to gather at an annual mass and luncheon which celebrates our Catholic heritage.”
