Staff, students celebrate, credit late founder for "sprinkling her magic" from heaven\


MIAMI GARDENS | On what would have been the 97th birthday of Sister Lucia Ceccotti, their founder and guiding light, Marian Center students and staff celebrated by dedicating a new fitness zone/play area at the school.

“Sister Lucia blesses us with her knowledge and wisdom,” said PTA president Toni Acocella. “She continues to sprinkle her magic on the Marian Center. She is in heaven working for us. Let’s all wish Sister Lucia a happy birthday!”

Acocella was joined at the May 5 event by the Marian Center’s parents, board members and archdiocesan officials, including Archbishop Thomas Wenski, who tried out one of the new playground’s four slides after the ribbon-cutting and blessing.

“This is wonderful. It’s good to get in shape, myself included,” he said afterward. “I hope you students will play and exercise and become strong in both body and spirit.”

On Good Ground

September 8, 2025
On Good Ground" is the Archdiocese of Miami’s theme for the 2025-2026 academic year. The theme encourages principals, teachers, and students to not only receive and embody God's word but also to actively cultivate it in their own lives and in the schools to help others grow in faith and bear good spiritual fruits. The ADT had an art contest asking adult students to create an image that conveyed for them the message “On Good Ground”, the reception was so wonderful we ended up with 17 winners! This artwork will be posted on a sign outside the activity building in the coming week, this is the banner version of the sign.
