Mother Marie Rose Society
In 1843, Mother Marie Rose founded the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. Love of God and concern for the educational needs of society inspired and sustained her. Mother Marie Rose's charism is incarnated in the lives of the Sisters of the Holy Names who continue the mission of their foundress through the ministry of education.
Mother Marie Rose believed that education, especially education in faith, was invaluable. To her, helping the minds and hearts of others to grow meant opening new doors and new possibilities.
Faithful to her spirit and vision, Ramona Convent Secondary School has served young women in the San Gabriel Valley for more than 125 years.
The Mother Marie Rose Legacy Society aims to ensure that young women will continue to benefit from the quality Catholic education offered at Ramona in the tradition of Mother Marie Rose.
