Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Mother of Sorrows School!

It fills my heart with joy and pride to welcome you to our Catholic School community. I urge you to dive deep and discover the incredible abundance of love, learning, and resilience that pulses through our small but powerful Vincentian School!

Mother of Sorrows School represents much more than an educational institution; it is a safe-haven and resource for numerous students and their families. For an inspiring 76 years, we have remained firmly committed to the South Los Angeles community. The remarkable experiences our children and their families undertake are enhanced by the exceptional dedication and commitment to service shown by our outstanding staff and devoted supporters, all of whom share a strong belief in our mission.

We take great pride in our identity as a school supported by the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. Inspired by the Vincentian spirit of service, we strive to honor Christ through our actions and uphold the legacy of our esteemed founders. Together, we fulfill our mission alongside the community, providing a transformative education that nurtures not only intellect but also the heart and soul.

Being part of the Mother of Sorrows community is truly a privilege. The positive impact we make here is a direct result of the selfless dedication and generous support from numerous exceptional individuals who enhance our school through their prayers, resources, and compassionate service. Their invaluable contributions empower us to serve our community with love and purpose.

We warmly invite you to visit us and experience the remarkable work our children and teachers accomplish together each day. Join us in celebrating the wonderful achievements that stem from our shared passion and strong faith.

In the spirit of our cherished Vincentian founders,

Karla Arvizu-Sotelo
