Help us remember our Sisters by sharing a story about a Sister who touched your life, or making a gift in their honor.
In 1978 she moved to Thunder Bay, where she took an addiction counseling course which qualified her as an addiction counselor at St. Joseph Treatment Centre in North Bay.
In 1983, Sister Clara directed occupational therapy activities at Villa Assumpta, then became director of the Hobby Room. There she engaged the Sisters in activities designed for each one according to her talents.
Iris Ann attended high school at the Institute of Notre Dame. At this time she made “the final decision” to enter the School Sisters of Notre Dame she felt that “God wished her to come to Notre Dame and live her life for Him.”
In death, we say our ultimate human yes to God. Trusting in God’s power to bring us to the fullness of life, we conclude our earthly life with an act of worship: in the action of death we proclaim God as God, and ourselves as God’s creatures. We are called by God and sent by the community; we go in joy!
- You Are Sent, Constitution of the School Sisters of Notre Dame
