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

Catholic Sisters Week was celebrated in a special way at the Alhambra Catholic Invitational Basketball Tournament. At halftime during the Bishop Walsh Catholic High game, they paid tribute to the Sister Kathleen Jancuk, Sister Francita Hobbs, and Sister Phyllis McNally, who have collectively taught...
Sr Margaret Turns 104!
Celebrating our oldest Sister in the Province, Sister Margaret Bauer, on her 104th birthday! When asked what she wanted for her 104th birthday party, Sr. Margaret Bauer replied, "unicorns, hamburgers and French fries." A typical unexpected answer from her!
Sr Colette Haus
Sister Mary Collette Haus was my 6th grade teacher. Several years after I left Chicago to live in Wisconsin, I came back to St. Al's and found she was in her 90's living in the convent. I visited her often and she was always gracious and welcoming.

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."
