School Sisters of Notre Dame continue to live the vision of Foundress Blessed Theresa Gerhardinger in a variety of ways. Below our Sisters share stories of their work and ministry.
Sisters Stories
In early December, Sister Kathleen Cornell and I attended the 50th anniversary celebration of the Investor Advocates for Social Justice (IASJ), originally known as Tri-State Coalition for Responsible Investment (Tri-CRI).
On Epiphany Sunday, the SSND Waterdown community revived the ancient Christian tradition of blessing doorways. Traditionally, this involves marking the door with crosses and the initials of the Magi, framed by the year: 20+C+M+B+26. This year, the LEAD team adapted the practice creatively.
The Sisters at Notre Dame Convent in Waterdown had a challenging winter season in 2024.
Many celebrations had to be cancelled due to one virus or another. This included St. Nicholas Day, Christmas, and even the Foundation Day celebration of our Canadian motherhouse!
Celebrating Jubilee!
Celebrating Jubilee!
Each year, we honor and celebrate our sister Jubilarians. Jubilee is a special time to rejoice with our Sisters as they celebrate their 25, 40, 50, 60, 70, 75, or 80 years of faithful love and service to God.

We go forth daily in the spirit of Mother Theresa, remembering her words: "Poor and abandoned, we began the work of God in supernatural faith and confidence... let us continue to serve the Triune God all our Lives with Joy."
