On November 6, 2025, fifty young women from St. Catherine of Siena Academy, nearly a quarter of our school community, joined thousands of others at the Michigan March for Life, standing joyfully and courageously for the dignity of every human person. Filling our own bus, these students represented not only their classmates, but the heart of what it means to receive a faith-based education at an all-girls Catholic school.

At St. Catherine of Siena Academy, faith is not confined to the classroom—it is lived out in the community. Guided by our mission to educate young women to develop their feminine genius—their unique dignity, identity, and gifts as women created in the image of God—our students embody what it means to be leaders rooted in both faith and reason.

Much of this spirit is nurtured through the Gianna Molla Society, our student-led pro-life club named after St. Gianna Beretta Molla, patron of mothers, physicians, and unborn children. Like their namesake, who saw every life as a precious gift from God, our young women serve and advocate with compassion and conviction. The group leads weekly pro-life rosaries, supports pregnancy resource centers, and fosters a campus culture of respect for life—hallmarks of the faith-based extracurriculars that make SCA’s holistic Catholic education so transformative.

The Gianna Molla Society’s dedication has also been recognized nationally. At the end of the 2024–2025 school year, the group was nominated by Students for Life of America for High School Group of the Year, honoring their leadership, service, and creativity in defending life. This nomination highlights the way our students live out their faith both on and off campus.

The courage of these students reflects the heart of our vision—to transform the culture by equipping young women to be leaders and bold witnesses of the Gospel. Formed through Catholic values education and inspired by the feminine genius, our students are learning what it means to love as Christ loves: fully, freely, and faithfully.
