Our Story: Lakewood Catholic Academy

Since 2005, the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine have been special friends and supporters of Lakewood Catholic Acaemy (LCA). LCA continues to grow in size and reputation in Lakewood.

Faced with the closing of three Catholic schools in 2005, the Lakewood community was determined to continue Catholic education in the lakefront city.

Through the generosity of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, a partnership was forged and plans were made to house a new, consolidated school on the eight-acre lakefront campus owned by the Sisters. opened its doors in August 2005.

Like the Sisters, this community made a leap of faith toward an unknown but hopeful future.
