Greetings!
As we near the halfway mark of this academic year, we look back over 2016 with pride in our past and confidence in our future.
We congratulate and honor our founders, the Sisters of the Holy Cross, who celebrated two anniversaries this year: the 175th anniversary of the founding of their order and the 130th anniversary of their having arrived in Columbus in 1886 to administer the then new hospital, Mount Carmel West.
