Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Our Lady of Lourdes/St. James Catholic School (now known as Our Lady of Lourdes), opened in April 1956 with nearly 450 students–many from the soon to close Providence Academy–and staffed with eight Sisters of Providence and four lay teachers.
What is your primary product or service?
Since it first opened its doors, Lourdes’ goal has been to emulate the charism of Mother Joseph (compassionate love and creative, prophetic solidarity with the poor) by providing a quality, value-based education to all students in the community. This is done in an educational environment that respects the individual gifts and talents of each student and nourishes minds and spirits.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
In 1856, Sister of Providence Mother Joseph, accompanied by four young pioneering sisters, arrived at Fort Vancouver, Washington. Mother Joseph proceeded to open her first Catholic school in 1858 in makeshift cabins. An accomplished architect and carpenter, she supervised the building of Providence Academy seventeen years later. The Sisters operated Providence Academy, the sole Catholic school in this area.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Our Lady of Lourdes School prepares our graduates for a rich spiritual life, academic excellence, creative pursuits, and compassionate service in our changing world. We work with the Archdiocese, parish, parents, and community to foster a strong Catholic identity in our students, to educate the whole child, and to fulfill the ministry of the Roman Catholic Church
