Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States. Join us to celebrate this important day with prayer!
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.
