Pray With Us
Each year, on May 9th, we celebrate the anniversary of the death of our foundress, Mother Theresa of Jesus Gerhardinger. May we as a congregation faithfully follow the example of Mother Theresa who placed her trust and hope in God. Her life was anchored on the firm ground of faith.
It is with great sadness that we, School Sisters of Notre Dame of the Atlantic-Midwest Province, join with the global community to mourn the passing of our dear Holy Father, Pope Francis. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the gift of his life and pontificate.
I've offered this prayer to and for family, friends, and community members at Easter, as seems fitting. I've also offered it at other times, when a special uplifting of strength and resolution are called for. Because Resurrection power is real.

"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.”
