"The Caldwell Dominicans became an independent congregation in 1881 and began a school in our current location in 1892.... In 1912, the Motherhouse and Novitiate officially moved from Jersey City to Caldwell. This increased the need for more space. In 1915 a three story school with a theater, auditorium and dormitory building, Mercedes Hall, was constructed across from the Motherhouse."
