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
On April 8th, 2025, Middle Level students from Notre Dame Preparatory School came to visit the Sisters on 2 south. The morning was filled with great enthusiasm and laughter.
The Ozanam community helped Sister Mary Teresia Spodnik celebrate 105 years recently! In solidarity, our Ozanam community prayed and celebrated with her. We all thank the good Lord for the wonderful gift of Teresia Spodnik!
St. Patrick’s Day is a day when everyone wants to be Irish, including the Sisters here at SSND Waterdown! We gathered together wearing our green for a good old Irish Kitchen Party. We enjoyed Irish Soda Bread, green beer, a wee shot of Bailey’s and refreshing green punch.
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."
