Within the Atlantic-Midwest Province, the Sisters are involved in a variety of ministries, all directed toward education in the broadest sense of the word. There are teachers, administrators, social workers, health care providers, Sisters in SSND community service, and those who minister by prayer for the community, the Church and the world.
There are also many women and men who, attracted by Blessed Theresa's mission, have joined the Sisters as Associates and as Staff, serving to carry out the mission of Jesus Christ in the spirit of Blessed Theresa of Jesus Gerhardinger, our foundress, to bring all into oneness with God and assist others to grow into the fullness of their potential.
The SSND established motherhouses throughout the United States and Canada very early in their history in North America. From these anchor points, Sisters ventured out, founding new educational missions across the United States, in Canada and in many countries around the world, promoting human dignity and assisting all to reach the fullness of their potential.
In 2005, the provinces of Baltimore, Wilton (CT) and Chicago came together to form the Atlantic-Midwest Province. The Province of Canada became a part of the A-M province in 2012.
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.
