Divine Providence Academy

Overview

In September, 1905 Divine Providence Academy , under the name of St. Joseph 's Industrial Institute, a boarding and day school for girls, opened its doors and offered an educational opportunity quite different from those then existing. The "Household Sciences," according to the Most Reverend Regis Canevin, then Bishop of Pittsburgh, were to be included in the courses offered.

Our Mission

We, the Congregation of Divine Providence, impelled by the Spirit of Jesus, commit ourselves to co-create a world of compassion, justice and peace. Guided by the legacy of Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler and Marie de la Roche, we nurture in ourselves and in others a trust and confidence in God’s faithful presence. We further commit ourselves to making God’s providence more visible in our world.
