Sister Maria Vincent

My name is Sr. Maria Vincent Vu. I am a member of the Dominican Sisters of Mary Immaculate Province located in Houston, Texas. I have been a religious sister for fifteen years. During my time in school, I was fortunate to be guided and inspired by great teachers. As a religious sister and teacher, I now have the opportunity to give back what I have received. I'm truly excited to continue serving God and His people at St. Victor in this new school year.

4th Grade Highlights

The highlight of the 4th Grade is the field trip to visit the Missions in our area.

I expect the students to:

Be respectful
Be responsible
Be their best

Religion

The Family Life program emphasizes Catholic education in relationships, family life, and sexuality, helping students follow Jesus by living a life of love, service, and obedience to God. Church doctrine, prayers, scripture, and community service support this journey, while weekly Mass and small projects are also part of the program.
