Good Counsel Girls' Academy was part of the Mankato educational tradition from 1912 until it closed in 1980. To this day, the Academy maintains an active Alumnae Association. The Association holds monthly Alumnae Mass in Our Lady of Good Counsel Chapel, annual Homecoming gatherings, and produces a biannual newsletter called ReEchoes(PDF). See our events for other opportunities to become involved. For more information contact Jeanne Osdoba Kelly.

Opportunity to Give Back
If you had Notre Dame Sisters as your teachers you may be thinking, "I want to give back because of everything the sisters gave to me. How can I help?"
Your donation, of cash or securities, or a bequest in your will, helps
the sisters' ministries, especially that of serving the women and youth
who are poor. It enables the sisters to spread the Word of God, and
allows the retired sisters, who have dedicated their lives to others,
to spend their remaining years in comfort. For more information on donating
to the School Sisters of Notre Dame, visit our donation
page or call 507-389-4213.
