Sisters

About Us

We are teachers, administrators and counselors; we are librarians, lawyers and accountants. We are nurses, facilitators and therapists; we are ministers, volunteers and women of prayer. Regardless of where we come from or how we serve, we are all proud members of the Atlantic-Midwest Province.

Our Mission is to proclaim the good news as School Sisters of Notre Dame, directing our entire lives toward that oneness for which Jesus Christ was sent. As He was sent to show the Father’s love to the world, we are sent to make Christ visible by our very being, by sharing our love, faith, and hope.

    SSND History

    The congregation of the School Sisters of Notre Dame traces its beginnings to Bavaria (Germany) where, in 1833, Caroline Gerhardinger and two other young women began living a common religious life. Caroline, taking the religious name of Mary Theresa of Jesus, grounded the community in poverty and dedicated it to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Our Sisters

The day started with all the Jubilarians receiving a blessing and corsage for the celebratory day. Following a beautiful Jubilee Liturgy Mass, Sisters and guests and Associates made their way to the dining room to enjoy a turkey dinner, and maybe a glass of rosé to toast the celebration!
Small blue envelopes placed atop breakfast plates delivered the news in late June or early July: You would be "flying" to another mission within days. Sister Marcianne Bzdon, SSND, remembers older Sisters calling the blue envelopes "bluebirds."

We hold in our hearts many sisters, beloved relatives and friends who are currently suffering serious illnesses and many who have recently gone on to God.
