About the Sisters of the Holy Names The Sisters of the Holy Names, an international congregation of women religious, work toward the full development of the human person through education and compassion with the hope of building a better world. The Sisters have a special concern for women and vulnerable children and are committed to being responsible stewards of the earth. The Holy Names Community has ministered in the Northwest since 1859, the year Oregon became a State. Today, the Sisters still carry the fire of their foundress, Marie Rose Durocher, into a wider world of education that embraces parish communities and diverse populations working toward a more just world. St. Mary’s Academy in downtown Portland, is celebrating 146 years of educating the region’s young women. The school provides a college preparatory curriculum to a diverse population and creates an environment for each to develop academically, spiritually, aesthetically, athletically, and socially.
