"Well done, good and faithful servant... enter into the joy of your master." — Matthew 25:23
In Loving Memory of Sister Angelina Grimoldi
With heavy hearts but steadfast hope in the promise of the Resurrection, we share the news that our beloved Superior, Sister Angelina, returned to the Lord today, March 12, 2026. Sister Angelina was the heart of our school, and her devotion to our children, our families, and her faith has left an eternal mark on all of us.
To honor her life and to allow our faculty, sisters, and students a moment of collective mourning and prayer, all classes and school activities are cancelled for Friday, March 13, 2026.
We invite our families to join us in prayer for the repose of her soul and for the peace of our school community. We find comfort in knowing she is now resting in the arms of the Father she served so faithfully. 🙏🏻

At Verna Montessori School, we know that a child learns best in a social environment designed to support individual development. By adhering to the Montessori Method, VMS provides a framework for your child’s academic achievement and social growth to blossom together, laying the foundation for a lifetime of creative and joyful learning, and nurturing your child’s development into confident, independent, and engaged individuals.
This foundational philosophy, inspired by the ideals of the founder of the Montessori method, Dr. Maria Montessori, and embodied in VMS by our founder, Blessed Antonia Maria Verna, opens up a whole new world of learning for your child in Western PA, as it has for generations.
