About Us

We are teachers, administrators and counselors; we are librarians, lawyers and accountants. We are nurses, facilitators and therapists; we are ministers, volunteers and women of prayer. Regardless of where we come from or how we serve, we are all proud members of the Atlantic-Midwest Province.

Our Mission is to proclaim the good news as School Sisters of Notre Dame, directing our entire lives toward that oneness for which Jesus Christ was sent. As He was sent to show the Father’s love to the world, we are sent to make Christ visible by our very being, by sharing our love, faith, and hope.

    SSND History

    The congregation of the School Sisters of Notre Dame traces its beginnings to Bavaria (Germany) where, in 1833, Caroline Gerhardinger and two other young women began living a common religious life. Caroline, taking the religious name of Mary Theresa of Jesus, grounded the community in poverty and dedicated it to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Our Sisters

Chicago-area Associates joined the Sisters at Marian Village recently for a fun holiday gathering.    Everyone seemed to have a great time, enjoying pizza, salad, fruit and desserts. It was so nice to spend time together during this Christmas season!

On Saturday, November 11, 2023, we — Sisters Mary Roy Weiss, Phyllis McNally and Kathleen Jancuk — traveled from Cumberland, Maryland, to a vocation fair in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This was the first vocation fair that the Diocese of Pittsburgh held since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
