My three children started their education at St. Francis- St. Hedwig In Naugatuck. We were devastated when it closed in 2018. Since SFSH was the last Catholic schoolIn our town we had to look for a school in our surrounding area. After weighing out options we choose Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Waterbury and we are very happy with our choice. I do feel a sense of community where our kids can excel in a faith based environment. I definitely recommend OLMC.
