Spirituality and Prayer

"Prayer is true heavenly food and nourishment for the soul, which will starve without it. It is a remedy for the sick who desire to recover again, joy for the afflicted, strength for the weak, medicine for sinners, delight for the just, mutual support for the entire church.”

-BLESSED THERESA GERHARDINGER

Pray With Us

May the light of Christ transform our lives and bring healing to our world. May the blessings of Easter bring joy to our hearts.

The School Sisters of Notre Dame share Lenten reflections for 2024 here. Enjoy!
