AMSSND Gospel Fund
The Gospel Fund of the Atlantic-Midwest Province is established for the purpose of assisting in the financing of projects whose goals are consistent with our congregational mandate to reverence all creation and make the concerns of the poor our own. The four criteria listed below are derived from two main sources of our SSND mission priorities: You Are Sent (YAS), the Constitution and General Directory of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, and Love Gives Everything, the Directional Statement from the SSND 24th General Chapter, 2017.
For justice to which we are all called, and for charity which is a privilege for all of us to offer, we join our prayers and financial resources with these organizations and groups as they work for a more just global community.
