About Us
We joined the Star of the Sea family this year and it has been one of our best decisions as parents. From the moment I took a tour with Michelle, I knew SOS was the right place for our Ruby. The environment is so enjoyably welcoming, and God’s grace is clearly working through all SOS employees. I am eternally grateful that the Lord led our family to Star of the Sea and I look forward to watching Ruby grow into a confident and kind follower of Christ under the SOS leadership. Thank you, Star of the Sea, for incorporating our family into your gracious community!
