The North American Archives has taken in the stock of books from Elm Grove and Villa Notre Dame. These books are available, free of charge, to any Sister, Associate or SSND staff person who would like a copy. You will be asked to cover the cost of shipping if we cannot arrange to get the book(s) to you via a Sister traveling between campuses.
Below is an abbreviated list of the books that are available (these titles have the most copies). There are many, many more titles in the bookstore, including province histories, books written by Sisters, constitution and rules written before You Are Sent, etc. If you don’t see a book you would like to have, please contact us. It is very likely we have a copy or two of what you want.
To request a book, please contact: mlevandoski@ssnd.org or call the Archives at 414.763.1000.
Thank you,
Michele Levandoski
