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

Four School Sisters of Notre Dame - one from Canada (where Thanksgiving fell on Oct. 11 this year) and three from the U.S. (where Thanksgiving will be celebrated on Nov. 28) - share their artwork and thoughts on 2024 Thanksgiving. 
On November 14th the Ballet Mobile came to Stella Maris for a performance in our auditorium. It was wonderful and the sisters enjoyed the performance and were given flowers. Thanks to Sr. Kathleen Boland and Janet Marsh for your help.
Two Sisters at Marian Village, in the Chicago Area, are wonderful examples. Lucy Giacchetti, 93 years old, and Julice Bots, 94 years old, have “let their troubles melt away.” 

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."
