Abstract
This paper focuses on the micro level to highlight the educational activities of one particular female religious congregation, located in the small town of Štíty in northern Moravia. Based on written and oral sources, it maps the activities of the Dominican Sisters Convent and its Girls' School in Štíty,from its foundation to its forced dissolution by the state.
In doing so, it attempts to point out certain characteristic features of the education system of the Church administered by the congregation. It also notes the influence the Dominican Sisters had on the local population.
