The Blessed Theresa was established to honor and thank generous individuals

Blessed Theresa Society

The Blessed Theresa Society was established to honor and thank those individuals who have included the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) in their estate plans.

The legacy of Blessed Theresa Society members ensures the future ministries of the School Sisters of Notre Dame in education, service to the poor, and care of the retired sisters. We invite you to join us in mission by becoming part of the Blessed Theresa Society. This may be done in several ways depending on what is best for you. We encourage you to plan with your family and to seek the advice of an estate planner or other legal counsel before making a decision.

You may become a Blessed Theresa Society member by...

informing us that you have included SSND in your estate plan
naming us in your will
making us owner or beneficiary of an insurance policy
naming us as beneficiary of an IRA or retirement plan
providing for us in a charitable trust
purchasing an SSND Charitable Gift Annuity

Your membership in the Society expresses your long-term commitment to the sisters' ministries and helps ensure that SSND will have the resources to grow and prosper.

To learn more about the membership process or to answer any questions you may have, please contact Sister Lynore Girmscheid. Or click to view or Leaving Your Legacy brochure (PDF).
