Celebrating Over 175 years of Education

The School Sisters of Notre Dame have taught thousands of students throughout the United States, Africa, and Latin America.

Today our ministry of education has expanded through advocacy and service to those in need within parishes, crisis shelters, nursing homes and social service centers. For us education means helping people reach the fullness of their potential.

Well past traditional retirement years, our senior sisters continue to serve as tutors, mentors, volunteers and companions and through the ministry of prayer. Through participation in the landmark study on aging and Alzheimer's disease, The Nun Study, they are the focus of the book, Aging with Grace, by Dr. David Snowdon, and have been featured on national television, National Geographic and Time magazines.
