Our Sisters

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 September, I was at the River Run event in Toronto for Grassy Narrows, an Anishinaabe community in Northwestern Ontario. There were thousands of people there to protest mercury poisoning of Grassy Narrows’s land.

The Sisters at Stella Maris attended a moving and inspiring prayer service for Breast Cancer Awareness Month on Tuesday, October 8.

The service included a reflection from a breast cancer survivor, prayers, and songs...

The Sisters at Waterdown observed International Day of Older Persons (also called National Seniors Day) on October 1 with a simple but moving event that included both Sisters and Laureate College students and staff. Our focus was Care of the Earth.

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.

Learn about this year's Jubilarians

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."
