Pray With Us
The School Sisters of Notre Dame Atlantic Midwest Province are praying and acting to slow the spread of COVID-19. We pray for all who suffer, for our leaders, our healthcare providers and all working to end this pandemic.
Forgive over and over and over? How do we understand this gospel call to discipleship, which seems so difficult? How is it even possible to live this way? The saints show us.
The United States has been called to a National Day of Prayer amid the coronavirus crisis. Let us together turn to prayer for an end to this virus and for all the poor of our world who are most impacted by this crisis.
In Memoriam
On a trip to Ethiopia in 1965, Sister Martin met Emperor Haile Selassie, and she wrote, “I was experiencing the continent [Africa] for the first time, and it really touched me… Someday SSND would be on that continent, and I wanted to be there, too.”
By February 1995, Mona began to minister in a particular way to God’s beloved at Good Counsel Homes, “a private Catholic Agency whose mission is to help homeless, pregnant women by providing a loving, family environment in a safe and secure shelter.”
Sister Mary was an outstanding grade school teacher, using her talents primarily with children in very poor areas in Chicago. She also served as Postulant Director in the Chicago Province from 1993 to 1998. Mary’s dry wit and clever greetings gave much delight to all who lived and worked with her.
"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
