"For me it is knowing when I drop my children off in the morning they are taken care of as if they were each your own children.I feel safe sending them to you. And I know you all love them and want them to receive a great education." Maureen Christian 

"For me there is no other school. MDG has always been and will always be the best. Mikey is the start of the 3rd generation of my family in this school. I will never find another like it. The Teachers staff and support staff are the best." Debbie Clegg

"It truly feels like one giant family. All the teachers, staff, and parents, honestly treat each other’s children like their own." Laurie Jordan 

 "I felt like my kids were safe once I watched them walk through the doors and I didn’t have to worry about them until I picked them up. Knowing that my daughter has the same teachers that my son had years ago made me feel comfortable." Angie Gorey

"I know that the teachers, staff and principal all care about my children's safety, education, and faith. I love that everyone that works there knows my children's name and my name. I feel that my children’s best interest is at heart. In a world where faith, morals, education and respect are often forgotten, I can wholeheartedly  say all of are of most importance at Mother of Divine Grace." Jennifer Graf 

“I’m not originally from Port Richmond. I was a fairly new mother of 3 and learned my son had autism. I needed a full day program for him to buy some time until we could find the right school for him. Mrs Lockhart without hesitation opened MDG’s door to my son. We actually belonged to another parish. It was a safe environment for him and a wonderful experience for us all. My son needed an autistic support class so he moved on although they all wanted him to come back. Two years later my daughter came to MDG and she is now a 7th grader. There was no other school I would have picked for her. My heart  was with MDG and we became parishioners. I have made many friendships there and have been on home and school. All those years ago it helped me find my way to a neighborhood I didn’t grow up in and now feel like I belong here. “ Mina Dever

“I am originally from Southwest Philly. When i met my wife we had a house directly across the street. Two kids later and one is a graduate and the other is in 6th grade. The teachers and all school staff are wonderful. Believe me when I say you gain a second family when you join this tight parish/school! “ Todd Donahue

 
“When my children go to school in the morning, I know they are going to be educated, loved and cared for by the best teachers and administrative staff. “Peg Chepress  

“A++ for the Principal and all of her teachers and staff. The love and kindness just flows without stopping. Very professional PROFESSIONALS that make school and learning FUN! I cannot say enough positive words about our school and parish!” The  Albert Family

“We live in South Philly and have tried two  other schools (one public & one Catholic) before finding MDG. When we visited MDG last summer we got that feeling that we had always envisioned when selecting a school for our kids. We wanted them in an environment that they would feel safe & loved in. MDG has given them (& us) that and so much more. Every member of the staff and every student along with their parents have shown our kids patience and acceptance from day one. With our son having some obstacles of his own to overcome we were afraid this would all diminish in time. But, MDG has stood up to their name and we are still honored to be a part of MDG and equally confident in dropping our kids off each day. Thank you MDG we all love you!! #smallschoolwithabigheart”  Brooke Mullen
