Pray With Us
June gives us a chance to remember and pray to Blessed Antonina who is our Shalom patron. We pray the Novena from June 3 to June 11. The days celebrate the qualities that Blessed Antonina lived in her life and death.
Bring solidarity to our world in a shared moment of prayer at noon local time on 24 May. Catholics from all across the globe will be united in spirit because “everything is connected.” #LaudatoSi
Join Dan Schutte in a virtual novena for Pentecost on the Feast of the Ascension. Let us join those first disciples in these nine days of prayer, a way for us to be together even while we are separated by space.
In Memoriam
Iris Ann attended high school at the Institute of Notre Dame. At this time she made “the final decision” to enter the School Sisters of Notre Dame she felt that “God wished her to come to Notre Dame and live her life for Him.”
Always focused on taking care of others, Joanna is remembered by her Sisters as kind, cheerful, and solicitous of their physical needs, her outgoing and friendly spirit endeared her to the many people she encountered in her 60 plus years as an SSND. May Joanna rest in peace and intercede for us.
In 1949, Sister Jean Francis was assigned to the new mission in Yona on the island of Guam. The first trip involved several airplane mishaps, including having a goonie bird (a type of albatross) fly into one of the propellers.
"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
